Description: Mandy Shepherd was born in 1960. Her art and education began at Byamshaw, London for a year learning the skills of drawing and observation and she went on to study a BA Hons Degree in Graphic Design and Illustration at Brighton. Mandy spent much time in Africa as a child and went back to Africa after her degree working in Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. During this time she gained valuable experience working with other artists, being part of a team in a leading advertising agency and being employed at The Everard Gallery, Johannesburg researching and reshaping the new library. This trip culminated in her first solo exhibition in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1980. Since that date Mandy established a studio first in London and then in Chichester where she has lived and worked for the past 20 years. Exhibitions both solo and shared have been in the United Kingdom and International, but because of a fortunate and constant stream of commissions from all parts of the world she manages only to exhibit once every four years. Past commissions have come from the services, which have taken her to Kosovo, Brunei Iraq and Oman; The Old Bailey, Masonic Society and Corporate Companies. More recently Mandy has been very keen to paint major portraits of retiring judges, The First Sea Lord and Lady Thatcher. She is presently working on her third book on the commissioning of HMS Daring the first Type 45 frigate to be introduced to active service next year. Mandy Shepherd is one of three generations of the Shepherd family who are artists along with her father David and David’s eldest granddaughter Emily. The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation was proud to host the first ever exhibition by three generations of the Shepherd family at the Savoy, London in October 2006.
