Welcome to West of East Skull Design!
Iām Elizabeth Strang! I am a Newfie with a little Alberta sparkle or as the song goes, āyour still just a Newfie in a Calgary hatā.. Iāve been here 5 years as of this Augustā¦my family moved to Central Alberta in 2017, and I just recently moved to Eastern Alberta with my significant other Gunnar this year. I like to say I truly adopted the love for the western/ag industry ever since I was old enough to be on the back of a horse, but iāve been able to embrace it since I stepped off the plane and onto Albertaās soil!
I grew up hunting and fishing back home but I also always had a knack for creativity and the doing it yourself mentalityā¦growing up with a dad who was quite more then handy with tools and a mom who could paint like bob ross himself, you sure learn a thing or two about where to put what, and what looks good where!
Around this time last year, (wow thatās crazy to sayā¦) I was preparing to head south of the border to taxidermy school down in Montana. Therefore this will be my āside gigā if you will, as im a taxidermist during the day out of Alberta badlands taxidermy for however long it takes me to complete whatever projects iām working on.. and then iām a skull painter Lol!
Iād love to welcome you all in joining me on yet, another path in my lifeās journey! (in perfect time for Christmas may I remind youš)
So please Enjoy with me these custom pieces I create.. bringing back to life, livestock spieces (as of right now) and commemorating them for what they were.
I truly hope you stick around, as well as I hope to have you in my client list too!
Stay warm!
Elizabeth R. Strang,
West of East Skull Design
