Gallery of Nature

Over the years, Gallery of Nature has handled big game, small game, birds, African game, and educational non‑game specimens for private clients and institutions.

Available examples include shoulder and game‑head mounts, full‑body mounts, bird mounts, and creative pieces with custom bases and habitat elements.

Carol Daniels has close to 60 years of taxidermy experience, with over 40 years running a full‑time, full‑service studio and completing untold thousands of mounts.

Her work emphasizes high‑quality, artistic, and often custom poses with detailed habitat, backed by experience as both a competition taxidermist and judge.

Pricing varies by species, pose, and base or habitat work, with example bird mounts such as a Virginia rail priced at $305 plus time and materials on the base, and current taxidermy price lists historically available by calling or checking posted lists.

As a one‑person shop, she has noted that mounts can take longer but portrays the finished quality as worth the wait, and she is currently no longer accepting new taxidermy trophies not already promised.

The business offers a country gift shop and fur‑sewn products under Gallery of Nature Furs and Gifts, creates commercial and educational displays for museums and agencies, and provides detailed handling guidance for CWD‑restricted deer and turkeys.
