Hello. Thanks for visiting Mr. Polsky's Menagerie. My name is Natalie Price - the owner and creator behind Mr. Polsky.
So who is Mr. Polsky?
Back in 2014 I began creating a fictional world in my head full of anthropomorphic animal characters. Drawing upon my love of the classical literary animals of my childhood: 101 Dalmations, Watership Down and the work of Beatrix Potter to name a few.
The central character to this world was a kindly wise fox called Mr. Polsky who was the anchoring point for all the other characters in the tales. I created paper mache animal masks and faux taxidermy born from the animal tales swirling around and hiding in my brain.

I have worked with The National Theatre, Bamfords Ltd, Stella McCartney Ltd, American Night Productions, Warner Bros.
Since 2023, I have stopped making animal masks, but I continue to explore my love of paper mache and animals through a variety of animal sculptures, artwork and decorations so that you can celebrate your love of the animal world too.
Working from my home studio in rural North Lincolnshire, I continue to draw inspiration from the surrounding countryside and my own animal companions that share my home.
