Stefan Savides

Vacaville native, Stefan Savides, Fifty-nine, came into this world with a total fascination of birds. At age twelve he began what would become a lifelong career in taxidermy. By the age of sixteen he was instructing adults in taxidermy through the City of Vacaville recreation department’s night school curriculum. After graduating from Vaca High school he moved to the Klamath Basin, an inspiring area of northern California where birds abound. Stefan is an artist who has never worked a day in his life in mainstream America. His self- employed career, while mainly centered on taxidermy, has included painting, carving and sculpting birds. Savides’ forty-six year career in taxidermy has carried him to the top of his profession internationally. He has spent many years traveling the United States, Canada and even Europe judging taxidermy and carving shows and conducting seminars and workshops. His clients include Dick Cabela, founder of the popular outdoor sporting company, and works as Mr. Cabela’s personal field taxidermist, traveling with him and his wife on their hunting safaris around the world. Savides’ works can be found in collections and museums around the country, including the Shedd aquarium in Chicago, Cabela stores, and the Smithsonian. Sculpting in bronze is a natural progression for Stefan as it provides a lasting expression of his knowledge of avian anatomy and design. Years of intense study coupled with a flair for simplistic design equates to renderings that capture the essence of his subjects in tasteful clean works of art.
