I make animal replicas that are a mix of realism and fantasy. I call my work “vegan taxidermy” because the animals are realistic in form and often life-size, but no animal parts are used the construction. Instead, I use hard foam or paper mâché for the armatures that I cover with a wide range of materials including faux fur, chenille, tapestry fabrics, and velvet. My favorite type of covering is vintage needlepoint.
