Woven Rhythm and Whimsy"
FiberArts:Contemporary Textile Art and Craft,
Jan/Feb 2008
"Like three-dimensional abstract paintings, Tina Puckett's woven
wall sculptures trace the rolling rhythms of fields and hills. Hand
dyed in the colors of autumn or spring, the natural materials she favors
— sea grass, reed, hemp, and grapevine — convey the look
of Impressionist paintings with layers of color."
- "Dream Weaver"
Connecticut Magazine, December 2007
"Tina Puckett gets rich color and texture into all her wondrous
woven works."
- "Artistic Baskets
from Winsted"
The Litchfield County Times, December 2007
"(Tina's) inspiration comes from her imagination — when she
touches the vine, she can feel what it wants to be and that is how it
gets its shape."
- "Weaving new dimensions
in basketry"
New England Crafts Connoisseur, Spring 2006
"This Connecticut artist transforms basic basket materials and
techniques into complex and colorful contemporary woven sculptures .
. . . . She is like a quilt artist who skillfully turns contrasting
and complementary blocks of color into a whole new dance of design."

City Arts Festivals, Show Spotlights
