David Shepherd's early career was, to quote his own words, 'a
series of disasters'. After failing to be a game warden in Africa, he turned to his second choice, painting, and
was promptly turned down as 'not worth training'. They said he had no talent.
David owes all his subsequent success to the man who trained him,
Robin Goodwin; also to the Royal Air Force who flew him all over the world to paint aircraft pictures and also
commissioned his very first elephant painting. He also says he owes an enormous debt to the wildlife he paints
and founded the David Shepherd Conservation Foundation in order to 'pay back' some of that debt.
Soloman & Whitehead have published David's work for 40 years
and are very proud of their association with one of the leading artists of this century.
