Valmortha Leathercraft - Melissa D. Bittinger
Artist Statement
Melissa Bittinger, known to friends and colleagues as just "D", studied to become an anthropologist, earning an MA degree in the process. Thereafter, she walked many a corn field and overgrown ridge top with survey archeologists. Somewhere along the way, she discovered an aptitude for computers, and she taught herself the fundamentals of database design and administration. Now she spends her weekdays as a data analyst, but that's only half the story, the mundane half. When not at "work", D is most likely making masks or seeking their inspiration - inspiration found more often than not on long woodland walks, in folk and fairy tales, during medieval weekend retreats, in daydreams and even at the movies. If you ask her who she is, she'll direct you to her website, the virtual home of Valmortha Leathercraft, http://www.valmortha.com.
