Nicole Baldelli

Nicole Baldelli resides in a small town in central Massachusetts with her dogs, cats, chickens, and snakes. A passion for wildlife and nature throughout her life is where her interest in taxidermy came from. Enjoying anything related to animals, she was finally able to give taxidermy a try in 2015 out of the Harvard Natural History Museum. From there she practiced endlessly on small animals she could find easily and as the years went on she met Bob Watkins and Victor Cole who became her mentors for mammal and bird taxidermy.

Introverted and reserved, she is often found in her workshop working on the many animals that her customers have harvested. Bringing them back to life in a special way. She also teaches taxidermy workshops at her home studio in Sterling, MA, an antique store in Palmer, MA and an oddity shop in Salem, MA.
