About
Horton is a 38 year-old artist living in the Scottish Highlands.
The largely self-taught practitioner, tired of the traditional presentation of taxidermy, lends the ancient art a surreal
and contemporary pop twist.
Horton’s approach to taxidermy has always set out to explore animals in a foreign environment from their original habitat.
The use of dyes and lighting allow a playful narrative to a medium that sometimes holds a macabre association.
It’s this juxtaposition of organic material with neon lighting
that has become her signature style.
All specimens are strictly ethically sourced.
