Ever since I was a child I've had a love of the outdoors. In college I studied Fish and Wildlife Biology as well as Outdoor Education. While working as an exhibits fabricator creating mostly dinosaur skeletons for museums, I wanted to use my knowledge of the modern natural world so began my second business to serve as a creative outlet. "Boreal Reproductions" was created to support taxidermists by offering mold making and replicating services as well as original sculpts for their dioramas and displays. The pronunciation of boreal (bore-ee-all) was apparently confusing many clients however, so I decided to change the name years later and "elements" was born. Along with the name change came a slight shift in purpose. While still focusing on our present day natural world (with a little paleo thrown in), I now include educational information along with each piece to help teach collectors about the flora and fauna that inspire these creations.
