Karl Lansing was raised in the majestic Northern Rockies of his native British Columbia. Since the age of 11, Karl has been a taxidermist and involved in the outfitting and guide business. He truly knows his subjects inside and out.
When Karl's job in the mines in the Kootenay Region of British Columbia came to an end in the early 1990's, he decided to persue a career with his art. He tackled two things he felt were missing in other sculptors' work: anatomical correctness and realistic detail.
