Artist's Statement: What is Valmortha? "Originally a place name, a world created through years of storytelling, I like to think of Valmortha as the Unknown Universe Just Left of the Imagination - A home for creatures, spirits and personalities we dare to dream but jealously guard from the mundane. As mischievous children, dreams sometimes venture forth from their protected home, becoming inspiration. Such is the impetus behind my craft." "By serendipitous choice, the leather medium proved a true complement to the often demanding and impatient wanderings of my inspirations. Malleable only if properly coaxed, it hints at and suggests the transformation to come, granting me some tiny illusion of control. Being both durable and flexible, the leather encourages you to play with the art. Don't just hang it on the wall. Wear it, dance with it, take it camping!"
