The newest addition of ink on my leg was created by the artist Skot Olsen! Inspired by my family’s history working in gold mines, cemeteries and my love for the spooky and Halloween! The haunted house resembles a home you can tour in Deadwood near the cemetery where Calamity Jane is buried next to Wild Bill Hickok.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?A victorian home sits in the forest haunted by the past. Night descends on the land and werewolf howls can be heard for miles. A UFO hovers as laughter echoes in the forest and in the trees. Branches crackling in the fire and snapping as Bigfoot sneaks through the forest. Deep underground in the old gold mines, Tommy knockers create mischief as you hear them eating offerings of pasty pies. Dripping water sounds off cave walls as the slithering creature swims through each cave chamber..
What would you do with the $25,000?It wouId help me create a new beginning. I would use the money to futher my education to help animals and others live a healthier life. I was diagnosed with a liver tumor and survived an open liver resection surgery. I have a new perspective on life. I want to help others with wellness through difficult times.The money would also help my ability to pursue and expand my interest and talents in the arts.
