With over a decade of experience in taxidermy, Sydney is a dedicated taxidermist specialising in birds, mammals and small game heads.

Combining traditional techniques with careful attention to detail and anatomical accuracy, Sydney ensures each piece upholds respect and honour to the specimen. Trained by renowned taxidermist H R Bennet, she continues to carry on and develop the art of taxidermy within her practice.

Alongside new mounts, Sydney also specialises in the restoration and the repair of antique taxidermy, bringing damaged or aging pieces back to life while respecting their original craftsmanship and history, breathing new life into once forgotten pieces.

Her work and expertise have been internationally recognised through features on BBC’s Countryfile, Salvage Hunters; as well as appearances on various radio stations and podcasts, upon which insights into the art, science and heritage of taxidermy have been shared.
