Tom Shepherd started his art career by creating custom artwork on guitars using graffiti pens. Making a move towards a brush and more traditional mediums opened up a whole new world to him, and he hasn’t looked back since. Tom loves painting a wide variety of subjects, but is always drawn back to the place where his first two passions met; painting wildlife, in particular birds.
Tom's work has become widely collected across the world. He has been a highly commended finalist in the world-renowned Wildlife Artist of the Year on several occasions. Tom is also a highly regarded, and much sought-after tutor, running his own workshops in the UK, teaching and demonstration for Art Groups & Societies. He also leads painting holidays in beautiful rural France. Tom co-hosts the podcast Ask an Artist, and runs successful remote painting classes through his School of Watercolour (schoolofwatercolour.co.uk)
