Allison Badell is an amazing Park City artist who $Allison Badell is an amazing Park City artist who inspires us because she has used her life struggles and love of nature to create a unique type of beauty out of animal skulls; bringing them back to life! Three years ago, Allison Badell escaped from an abusive relationship in the middle of the night but she didn’t escape unscathed. A fractured vertebra sustained in the incident haunts her, causing the artist to have seizures, experience temporary blindness and lose feeling in half of her face.“I wasn’t able to do what I used to do, and that left me, basically, a shell of a human being because I had lost my purpose,” said Badell, a former interior designer, event planner and business psychologist. “I don’t do well being stagnant, but I wasn’t able to work, so I took couple of months to try to find something I could do.”One night Badell drew inspiration from a cow skull on her wall. “It looked sad to me because it was a plain, dead skull, and I wanted to bring a little life back to it,”she said, “that was symbolic because I also felt dead. The domestic violence incident was a pinnacle moment of my life, because I was able to choose either to sink or swim. And I began to swim towards this.” Please visit us at www.madeinparkcity.com to see some of Allison's incredible work.$
