“We Finish the Hunt”
Animal Artistry: Honoring the animals, the hunt and the hunter through wildlife art in the forms of Beautifully Created Taxidermy, Bronze Sculptures, Paintings, Rugs & Artifacts
If you ever attended the SCI Convention, you had to stop and view the fabulous, life size bronze works of Mike Boyce of Animal Artistry! Our friends at Animal Artistry have made it possible for you to be the proud owner of this beautiful bronze American Eagle bust designed and created by the late Michael Boyce whose vison of wildlife art was not a stuffed, stagnant trophy, but that of a living, moving animal with all its inherent grace and dignity.
The “Patriot” Bronze Sculpture by the Late Michael Boyce
Mike’s passing has brought a deep heartache to his family, friends and employees. For those who continue his legacy, there is a therapy — a healing, in continuing the business that now honors him with renewed dedication to his concepts and to his passion for the art of the animal.
What is now the business, Animal Artistry, began first as a hobby while Mike Boyce was a pastor at an area church. He and a fellow hunting buddy would occasionally charge other hunters to mount their trophies and the proceeds would then go into a savings for his next trip. Hunting and taxidermy were the original training for the artist in him and the expression of his love for the natural world and wildlife. His many hunts around the world provided the experiences and first-hand observations of animals in their habitat, and those same adventures altered Mike’s approach to taxidermy and to its appreciation as an art form. An additional influence was his father, a painter, whose talent and appreciation for landscapes, form and focus, color and contrast, were imprinted on Mike from an early age.
Along with Animal Artistry’s traditional and custom taxidermy services, they also offer remounting services, trophy room and mural design, and reproductions of elephants, hippos, rhinos, and large reptiles. Animal Artistry also sells a variety of bronze animal and human sculptures on their art website The Art of the Animal.
The “Patriot” measures 13"H x 12"W x 10"L.
Our Chapter thanks Animal Artistry for their continued support and most generous donation to our Chapter!
