Shane spent 10 years as a tool and die maker before deciding to combine his two passions: the outdoors and art. In 2010, he attended The Colorado Institute of Taxidermy, then opened Breath of Life in 2011.

"Until you can make it breath, bleed or breed, you are not done learning." — His instructor

He still takes that seriously. Shane attends taxidermy seminars and competes in competitions regularly to keep improving.

• •Game heads & shoulder mounts
• •Life-size mammals
• •Birds and waterfowl
• •Fish mounts
• •Custom specimen work

Every project gets attention to detail and species-accurate representation. The goal: preserve your memory of that hunt or catch with a mount that actually looks like the animal.
