Artistry In Motion Taxidermy- Canada's Largest Taxidermy Studio

The team at Artistry in Motion restored and mounted my grandfather’s moose antler that he got many years ago to like new. They also repaired my black bear rug that needed to be refinished. I’m so glad I trusted them with my cherished pieces and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get taxidermy or restoration work done. The team are also friendly, always available and deliver on time!

I was absolutely blown away with CJ's work. He made my bear come to life with this amazing peice. I'm so glad to have the memory of this amazing animal preserved in my home to share with others. His work honors this animal the way I hoped it would. I highly recommend CJ at Artistry in Motion if you are looking for truly exceptional work and a friendly personable interaction with a very talented artist.

CJ and team are exquisite artists with a reverence for animals I have yet to encounter in other people. I have travelled the world and met many generous people, CJ and his family are top of the list. His generosity extended to my education as a woman who never met a taxidermist nor had been inclined to stuff an animal previously. He suggested, upon finding the Barred Owl, that I come see what he does to decide “how best to honour the owl.”On our first phone call, CJ explained how to keep the owl safely on ice with towels to protect it both from freeze burn or rot. Upon meeting him at the MASSIVE, CARED FOR and BRILLIANT art studio and museum, I was floored by the magnitude of detail in each animal’s presentation that was on display, and on which he was working. He walked me through the entire process, offered a reasonable time frame, creative ideas, and very reasonable price for the effort which I could only imagine would take hours to place all the feathers where they would eventually end up.I read a review of someone complaining about things not done correctly, and I can’t imagine that based on my interactions with CJ and team, that any potential for a “defect” would have been explained prior to working on the animal. As he explained before we agreed to a contract of work, CJ mentioned, “here, the foot is broken, and we will try to put it in the correct angle... here, there are some feathers and part of the breast that may not attach without seeing some bone...” and so, if anyone brings an animal to Artistry in Motion, I would suspect that the same degree of inspection of the arrival and delivery of the animal to CJ, would be noted and the effects of the death of the animal explained in relationship to the work he must do to preserve it and present it artistically such that there would be no surprises, only sheer awe.My son is 6, and he was absolutely enthralled by the meeting of this now wonderful protector in our home. We feel truly blessed to have a beloved creature in our home, a masterpiece of CJs and Artistry in Motion, while having our relationship with the living world deepened because of our interactions with CJ, his family and team.Moose antler carving on black walnut made by Wes Haverill, whatknots.ca

Deer season 2018 was a success. Shot my buck Nov 8th brought it over to Artistry In Motion taxidermy Nov 10 was promised I would have it before Christmas. Had my beautiful European mount December 20. That is what I call service. Junior over at Artistry In Motion Taxidermy is top notch, I would recommend them 100% beautiful work guys. Thank you !!!

CJ is amazing to listen to and the stories of adventures in Africa. Offers trips. Educates children and people to teach them the life and death of all animals.Such an awesome experience.Thank you so much for your time.Look forward to seeing you again

Cj is a great guy. Honest and straight forward. He delivered two bear rugs and they look fantastic. No one else I'd go to

CJ truly has a gift. He did a fantastic job and made my Deer Mount more beautiful then I could of imagined. Thanks CJ and by the way his show room and shop will knock you socks off. Call him. Visit him. Book him. Standup guy!

Just picked up my black bear and buck mount and was extremely impressed. CJ was very easy to do business with and told me some amazing stories. Would highly recommend.

The mount I received looks fantastic and is exactly what we had discussed during the initial consultation. Cj provided a lot of guidance on what was possible and what would look best - he is absolutely an expert. As other reviews have mentioned the showroom is quite impressive. While the end product is 5 stars, the process took a very long time and I wish there was more transparency and communication on the expected time frame beyond call back in a couple weeks" for several months - this uncertainty drops my review by a star."

Can't thank the team at Artistry in motion enough for all the good work they did on my first White tail buck mount. They made the process easy and accomplished what I asked them to do with some recommendations. If you are looking for a professional taxidermist, I would reach out to the team at Artistry in motion!
