David Shepherd, OBE, FRSA (Born
1931)
 David
studied art under professional artist, Robin Goodwin, with
early commissions for the RAF taking him to Aden in 1960,
and on to Kenya. This trip changed his life. He was asked
to paint his first wildlife subject and at the same time,
he became a conservationist overnight when he witnessed 255
zebra dead around a waterhole poisoned by poachers.
Since then, David has enjoyed successful one-man
shows around the world and has won many awards. He has been
the subject of several TV programmes and published five books
and over 200 limited edition prints. Recently celebrating
his 75th birthday, David still lives at a frenetic pace, continuing
to donate paintings to wildlife through his Foundation, to
pay back "my enormous debt of gratitude to the animals
I paint".
