Now Playing Tracks

When I traveled to Germany several years ago I was enamored with the beautiful way skulls were displayed on intricately carved plaques, so I was thrilled last year when a client requested that their whitetail skull be displayed in a similar way.
Skull cleaning/mounting was done by me on a beautifully carved wood plaque from an artisan in London ( will find the name and edit post to credit them.)

Spooky season is almost over and seasonal depression is already starting to creep in. Though nothing this year has gone according to plan, I’m thrilled that @shawntabitha and I were finally able to bring this antique-inspired photoshoot to life, three years in the making. More photos to come…🕷

The arrival of Spring has brought with it new life. Plants are growing and insects are buzzing, and though our own lives as a species has been drastically altered it brings me a strange sort of peace to see other creatures come out their winter hiding and enjoy life as they always have.

I’ve been working on moving into my new home studio and found a few framed webs hiding out from last fall. These webs, as well as gift cards, are now available on my website. The link in my bio will take you there 🕷

Cleaned skull of a client’s pet cat, known for her one giant fang. It’s always an honor to work with memorializing these special pets, no matter what the species. 🖤
🖤 Thank you to the client for allowing me to share this photo. 🖤
