Val is a talented poet and leather worker and when we met for our photoshoot, she was shy. She was shy until I suggested she just do her thing and she began performing her poems and then she forgot I was there. Which was just what I wanted!
“Art in all her forms keeps life fresh and interesting. It’s a way of looking and processing those important moments that fly by. Once they’re in the poem they have eternal life.” Read Val’s entire interview here.
