VALERIE CHIRIGOS – I am an artist based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who previously spent 18 years living in Paris. My artwork is almost exclusively on paper, though I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture and worked with metal after obtaining my degree. I love working with my hands and during the years that I had an art studio in New York, paper became my material of choice. My artwork is in private collections and in hotels. In addition to working on my own artistic projects, I enjoy the challenge of making artwork on commission and collaborating with decorators and interior designers.
