Valerie Lueth/Tugboat Printshop
Valerie Lueth is an artist living and working in Pittsburgh, PA. Her approach to color is strategic and radiant, her approach to printmaking is exacting. Valerie hand-draws & hand-carves multiple woodblocks to create her printworks, laying color to paper in glowing ink layers, slowly building her imagery through deliberately stacked impressions. The meticulous linework she draws/carves direct to block translates exquisitely into woodcut. Her artworks carry a feeling of purpose that trails through their crafting to end results that feel alive on the paper.
