Shepherd was born in London in 1931 and is most well known for his paintings of wildlife, although he also paints steam trains, aircraft and landscapes. His art has been popular since the 1960’s as limited edition prints. He has also written 5 books about his art.
Growing up, Shepherd showed his artistic talent from as young as 8 years old when he won a children’s art competition in a magazine called Nursery World.
Shepherd is an avid conservationist, and even went to Kenya when he left school to become a game warden, but was turned away. He then decided to pursue his career in art, and was once again turned down by the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Luckily, artist Robin Goodwin took him in and trained Shepherd for 3 years.
