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.

Her artworks carry a feeling of purpose that trails through their crafting to end results that feel alive on the paper.
