Here at Ryan J. Rhodes Taxidermy and Wildlife Artistry, we have one goal, to provide our clients with the highest quality taxidermy available. Through intense study, continual research, and by using only the finest materials available, we can produce very life-like results that our clients are sure to be happy with.
Ryan is a graduate of The Pennsylvania Institute of Taxidermy (P.I.T.), which is an accredited school and one of the best Taxidermy schools in the country. I have had the privilege of studying under several world-class taxidermists such as Kent Stryker, Charles Henry, Dan Bantley, and Jason Snowberger; all of which have received numerous awards at state, national and even world taxidermy competitions. After having completed a total of 920 hours of intense taxidermy and business courses at P.I.T., I continue to educate myself further by attending state and national competitions as well as regularly attending seminars conducted by world-renowned taxidermists throughout the country. As a result of my continuing education and dedication to the trade, I have gone on to win several ribbons and awards including a "Best of Show" at the New England convention.
I offer a wide variety of services at my studio and specialize in all aspects of the trade. All hides are professionally tanned to ensure a lifetime of quality and durability. All of my work is guaranteed for a lifetime and any repairs needed short of accidental damage will be taken care of at no charge to the customer. No mount is too big or too small, from chipmunks to life-size mammals and anything in between. All fish are skin mounted, with the exception of salt water fish. These will be reproduction only. Custom habitats are available for any mount, as well as special or custom poses. All bases are made from the finest hardwoods of the customers choosing to match any home décor. We can work with you to design a custom mount to compliment any home or office. Our goal is your satisfaction and being committed to excellence. |
