Very pleased with my Pheasant. CJ took his time with my pheasant and was able to deliver a true piece of art. His attention to detail is exceptional and pride of his craft is abundantly clear in all his work. Amazing workshop and showroom!

I had a really great experience with CJ. He was really nice as a person. I had trouble getting into his premises due to snow and he and his worker were really helpful. Not to mention the great work he did on my two bunnies. I paid him in full for both of my bunnies that had passed and had no problem getting them nicely done in less than five months. He is doing two more of our bunnies. He was very caring and overall a really great guy. Nothing but great things to say about him.

I cannot say enough about CJ and his team. This guy is a real artist. The rock mount he made for my cougar looks so real, it was exactly what I had described to him. These guys care and do absolutely amazing work. Definitely will be doing more with them. These guys are the best you can get.

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.

Highly recommended!! If you are looking for any kind of animal related product rugs, teeth, wall mount CJ’s the guy you can TRUST. He’s a master, very skilled and knowledgeable about pretty much everything.
I picked up a specific deer skin rug and the quality is beyond imagination. I’m extremely happy and very satisfied with my final product.
Thanks to CJ & His team!!

The owner is very talented! Very knowledgeable especially with the beliefs and culture teachings of the Indigenous. He educated us on the process he takes when creating his work.

He also invited us to view his display of finished pieces. They were beautifully crafted. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend his work to anyone that is looking for professional work done. Truly a pleasure to meet him.
