Biography

Art has always been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I had a passion for drawing at a young age, it was rare to see me without a pen or pencil in my hand. I would often be drawing on my arms during class. During primary school I would often draw pictures of the Head teachers taxidermy fox he kept in his office. This is my earliest memory of taxidermy having an influence in my life. I was fascinated by the creature, its beauty forever preserved.

​

I never actually wanted to become an artist, in fact it was the last thing I wanted to do! However, my friends and family always encouraged me to follow this route and I am so grateful for it now more than ever. 

​

Art has always been more than just a subject to me, it is a way of life. I have always been fascinated by the artistic and natural world. Even when I was a child and teenager I wanted to pick up any dead animals I came across and longed to keep them forever preserved. However, being the weird kid anyway I never wanted to draw more attention to myself. These days I am proud to be myself and I'm not afraid to tell others about my "weird" fascinations. 

​

I studied art at GCSE, A Level, College and University, I was always unsure of what career route to go down but I stuck to what I enjoyed doing the most. 

Although after achieving my Bachelors degree in Illustration I lost my passion for drawing and painting, However my interest in taxidermy and oddities only grew, it was several months later when I decided to set up my small business. It has been the biggest part of my life for many years.
