OUR STORY 

Welcome to our exclusive collection of taxidermy butterfly domes carefully preserved and elegantly housed in original Victorian antique glass. Each specimen represents a unique blend of natural beauty showcasing the delicate art of butterfly preservation.

 

Sam Harrison is an independent artist whose creative journey began as an unexpected discovery during the isolation of the lockdown period. Immersed in the relentless demands of a corporate career, Sam sought solace in the quiet beauty of nature, rekindling a passion for creativity that had long been set aside. With time to explore and reconnect with the natural world, he taught himself the delicate art of butterfly preservation, captivated by their intricate patterns and vibrant colours.

 

Driven by a deep respect for the environment, Sam embraces a philosophy of working with what nature has already perfected over millions of years of evolution. Every creation is a celebration of this beauty. The result is a collection five years in the making, testament to nature’s complex artistry. The domes are now available for sale, an opportunity to own a fragment of the wild for generations to come.

 

By purchasing one of the domes, you are not only acquiring a piece of art but also supporting sustainable practices and the preservation of natural history.

As an artist, having the opportunity to work with the brightest colour nature has to offer is remarkable ”
