With a lifetimes experience of wildlife in their natural habitat and 25 years in taxidermy Andy Russell has produced some magnificent pieces of art.

His newly built studio at Achany, Lairg, in the highlands of Scotland is the base for his recent work which has allowed the business to expand to accept new clients.

" Andys work is beyond attention to detail; what he does is natural, instictive and encompasses years of experience and knowledge of these native animals in their natural habitat. Each mount has it's own personality and presence brought to life by a skilled hand, not just preserving the animal but the memories and the sentiment that accompanies it. "

Andy works with his customers on commissions, rather than producing birds and mammals for sale.  All photos on this website are of previous commissions and are not offered for sale.

Andy combines the old traditional method of mounting birds, mammals and fish with modern methods and materials, producing a lifelike mount that is pleasing to the eye. Customer satisfaction is at the top of the list of priorities and he will work closely with his clients to ensure the finished product is what the client wants and that the work is completed within a reasonable timescale.
