As the visionary behind Gilded Wild, Michael J. Gultz draws from the vast Texas landscapes that shaped his creative soul. A Cedar Park native with roots in the heart of Central Texas, Michael honors the Longhorn not as a relic, but as a living emblem of resilience and wanderlust. With over a decade of craftsmanship, his work blends traditional taxidermy artistry with modern metallics and organic finishes. What began as a personal passion—rescuing and reimagining discarded horns from working ranches—has evolved into globally celebrated installations. From the intimate walls of private estates, hotels to the bold displays in Perry's Steakhouse & Grille across the nation, Michael's sculptures whisper tales of adventure, endurance, and quiet power. At Gilded Wild, every creation is more than art—it's a bridge between the wild frontier and your story.
In a world that rushes past the imperfect, Gilded Wild pauses to celebrate it. We source ethically harvested Texas Longhorn skulls and horns trusted suppliers, ensuring each begins its second life with respect for the animal's path. Our process is deliberate and soulful:
The result? One-of-a-kind sculptures that capture the spirit of the Longhorn—fierce, free, and forever gilded in legacy. No two are alike, just as no two journeys are the same.
