Although Jonelle is certified and recognized by the National Taxidermists Association for fish, birds, and mammals, she spends most of her time focusing on birds and mammals, leaving the fish to her husband and partner, Brent Thyssen. While Jonelle enjoys participating in State taxidermy shows throughout the Northwest as well as the National Taxidermy Convention she also enjoys spending free time working outdoors, riding horses, and spending quality time with their daughters.

Brent Thyssen
Since his youth Brent has enjoyed hunting elk, deer, and
bear; recently, he has added waterfowl to this list. He has also spent many
hours fishing. He currently mounts and paints all the fish for the studio. With
his lifetime experience of hunting and fishing, he performs quality control by
critiquing his wife's birds and big game mounts (this often creates lively
"debates"). Although Brent's time does not allow him to compete in many
competitions, he is currently working on his certification for fish. Amongst
hunting and fishing, in his free time, Brent also enjoys his family time to the
fullest.
