Practicing taxidermy since 2000 and state & federally licensed in 2010, Beth Beverly is Philadelphia’s premiere couture taxidermist, specializing in wearable mounts and unusual home decor.
Her hats have won awards at the Devon Horse Show, Brandywine Polo and Radnor Hunt Clubs. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, AMC's series about competitive taxidermy "Immortalized" and the Netflix series "Stranger Things" and most recently HBO's "The Righteous Gemstones".
Beverly has been giving demonstrations, lectures and leading workshops on taxidermy since 2013 at The Wagner Institute, The Philadelphia Sculpture Gym, Morbid Anatomy in New York and University of the Arts. Her knowledge on the craft and restorative skills have been tapped by museums such as the Academy of Natural Sciences and The Franklin Institute right here Philadelphia and as far away as The Vadon Hunting Museum in Transylvania, Romania.
