David Shepherd Art Prints

As a small boy, David collected books on Africa, and he had one ambition only, to be a game warden. His early career was, to quote his own words, 'a series of disasters'. After leaving school in 1949, he went to Kenya and was politely told that he was not wanted. Coming home again, David was faced with two choices; 'to drive buses or starve as an artist'. Rejected by the Slade School of Fine Art as having 'no talent whatsoever', it was by good fortune that he met Robin Goodwin who took him under his wing and to whom he owes so much of his success.
