After many years of perfecting my taxidermy skills, I finally combined my fine art skills as a painter with the art of taxidermy, the end result was being awarded the WASCO Most Artistic Entry at the 2012 United Taxidermy Competition & Expo. I appreciate that the judges found my work to be worthy of an award of this magnitude.
In addition to the WASCO Award I also won the Best Of Category - UTA Open Bird Group, two first places for the drake woodducks in the Open Division, as well as the Competitors Award for the most accumulated points for four mounts entered in the show (see mounts below.)
Hungarian Partridges
Sharptail Grouse
