Our Mission

At Fox Grove Creations, our mission is to create unique and functional home furnishings and décor that depict the beauty of nature. The design of our custom-made display tables allows for an unparalleled view of wildlife settings in your home. Each setting is one-of-a-kind. All of our painting and habitat display work is done by hand, by Chuck or Charlotte, to create a unique wildlife setting just for you. Whether you choose a fish wood carving, a fish or reptile reproduction, or a wildfowl or small animal taxidermy piece, we will strive to create the most natural habitat setting possible – just for you.

About Us

Fox Grove Creations, LLC is the lifelong dream of Chuck and Charlotte Annis. They have been carving (Chuck) and painting (Charlotte) waterfowl and fish since they were married in October of 1978. While they have both pursued many different careers over the years, their love of nature always brought them back to wildlife art.

Chuck is an avid waterfowler and fisherman. He has been carving ducks and fish since the late 1970's. Charlotte is also an avid fisherman and bird watcher She has recently taken up watercolor and oil painting. They both have just begun doing some sketching.

Chuck started carving fish when he was President of the Catherine Creek Chapter of Trout Unlimited in Elmira, NY, in the mid 1980's. These fish carvings helped the chapter raise thousands of dollars for local stream improvement projects. He also carved fish for other chapters across the country to help them raise funds through the Trout Unlimited National Banquet Program.

In 2005, Chuck was approached by a custom wildlife furniture company to paint fish reproductions and create habitat settings for their products. That same year he decided to enter a rainbow trout carving in the Ward World Championships in Ocean City, MD, and won a blue ribbon in the Trout and Salmon category.

Always an independent soul, Chuck decided to start his own company and created a line of end tables, coffee tables and cocktail tables that would allow more of the art to be seen and also fit with almost any decor.
