About

Mandy Shepherd is a Military and Wildlife artist. Her portfolio is very diverse and covers Wildlife, portraiture, landscape, aviation and recording military history for a Tri-service audience and has travelled many areas of the world through her work. She has lived and exhibited her work in Africa and takes safaris to Uganda and southern Africa, India and Antarctica. Her passion for the global conservation of endangered species was the motivation for Ele on an EGG.

She has just returned from taking a safari to Zambia visiting the DSWF Elephant Orphanage Project where baby elephants are rescued in dire circumstances, cared for in a rehabilitation facility and then translocated to a release programme with eventual return to a safe secure environment in the Wild. It is a hugely expensive and long term programme and over 20 years EOP have successfully returned over 15 animals into Wild herds which is extraordinary. 

"Painting on an egg has been a novelty and using Artisan oil paints and water based medium on this porous surface has hopefully presented an EGGceptable image!"

Mandy is a local artist and a keen and regular visitor to CFT and is happy to have contributed to such a brilliant cause for the next generation.
