Ross Brownson, a renowned taxidermist from Marlborough, New Zealand, is well-known for his expertise in fish taxidermy. His intricate creations can be found in prestigious locations such as Te Papa, museums, boardrooms, and lodges worldwide.

Based in Havelock, his residence showcases a stunning array of sea creatures, including a remarkable 12-foot shark. Recently, Brownson has put his house up for sale, along with the sea creatures that adorn it.

Having honed his craft through self-teaching, Brownson has developed a groundbreaking technique using plaster casts and fibreglass. This innovative approach has enabled him to undertake diverse projects of varying sizes, attracting clients from around the globe.

“We were receiving commissions from as far as Scotland,” Brownson shared with RNZ. “Clients would send us photos and measurements of trout, and with my extensive range of moulds, I could create trout of any size. We were fulfilling orders for Scotland and Australia.”

Additionally, catch-and-release anglers seeking keepsakes have also sought out Brownson’s expertise. These clients would weigh and measure the fish before releasing them back into the water, sending Brownson photos for reference.

One of the standout pieces in Brownson’s collection is the 12-foot shark, which posed a significant challenge due to its size. Brownson recounted the difficulties he faced in handling such a massive specimen, requiring specialized equipment to lift and mount it.

As Brownson and his wife Janet approach retirement age, they have decided to sell their home, a former post office serving as a maritime museum and iSite. Both the property and its contents are available for purchase, as Brownson no longer has storage space for the collection.

Despite his retirement, Brownson’s legacy will live on through the continuation of his business by two aspiring taxidermists in Timaru and Christchurch. Brownson plans to provide guidance and support to these individuals, ensuring the preservation of his craft for future generations.
