About Avian Arts
Realistic Waterfowl Taxidermy. Built on Experience. Fueled by Passion.
I started mounting birds over 30 years ago after a friend gave me a duck mount as a gift. From that moment on, I was hooked.
Since then, I’ve worked on thousands of birds, each with the same focus: make it look real. Not “pretty good.” Not “close enough.” Real.
I don’t use assistants, and I don’t rush jobs. I’m the only one who works on each mount, from start to finish. That’s how I’ve always done it — and always will.

What Sets Me Apart
1
Quality Over Quantity
Every mount is handled by me. No shortcuts, no assistants, no mass production.
2
Reasonable Turnaround
Most mounts are completed within 6–8 months. I never overbook to keep quality and timelines balanced.
3
Realism That Lasts
I focus on lifelike, museum-quality presentation that honors the bird and your memory of the hunt.
