Our Story

Established by Jo Lepeska in 2014, Pretty Dead Taxidermy combines our founder's passion for taxidermy & natural history with modern techniques and ideas. 

From humble beginnings in a barely 100 sq ft art studio, Pretty Dead Taxidermy started in Vancouver BC. A female-owned and operated business, specializing in traditional taxidermy, education in preservation, pet memorials, workshops, and services for the TV/Film & Entertainment industry.

Our mission is to offer sustainably sourced taxidermy products, resources, expertise, and workshops to collectors, consignments, and aspiring enthusiasts.
