Richard Colby began New Berlin Taxidermy in 1970 and is continually refining and developing the art and science of taxidermy.
After working as a naturalist for Waukesha County in Wisconsin during the 1960's, Richard's love and appreciation for the beauty and grace of all wild creatures inspired him to begin New Berlin Taxidermy.
Many of the techniques he still uses today were developed at the studio.
While white-tail deer shoulder mounts are the specialty of New Berlin Taxidermy, he has worked with specimens from all over the world. To see some examples of past mounts, please visit our display room.
In response to the increased popularity of catch and release fishing, Fish Replication is available. Finding himself unsatisfied with the results of commercially available paints for fish, Richard developed his own air-brush fish paints unique to the freshwater fish of the Upper Midwest.
Our current price list is available here.
Learn the art of taxidermy, while mounting your first specimen with a hands-on personally guided taxidermy course.
