Shadow Hammerhead: David Shepard International Artist of the Year Finialist 2009
It all started when…
I saw an advert in the BBC wildlife Magazine in 2008 for entries for the Wildlife Artist of the year, At this point Id just left a position as the general Manager of a British made Power boat, and was about to embark on a new adventure…..Which turned out to be the new direction I have pursued over the last 12 years. I already had a business as a visitor attraction model maker and designer, but had not really refined the sculpture to the level I felt I could go too.. So with nothing to lose I entered Shadow, an Idea I had a while ago showing that if we do not protect the Oceans all we will have left is the shadows of the creatures we love. I was excepted and asked to exhibit at the Mall Galleries in London. Since then I have had 3 other solo exhibitions and a resident artist position along side my business doing the work you can see on this site.
I am now planning a new and exciting full interactive and educational exhibition to held in Edinburgh all being well in 2023 / 24 this will be a coming together of all my skills in a visual treat of light sound and art.
“ABCENCE” will be the next phase in the exhibition side of my life…
OCEANIC
LIFE SIZE AQUATIC INTERACTIVE EXHIBITION
This Exhibition was a trail with interactive sensors and lighting to see if a full ligh and sound exhibition would be excepted by the public. I have used these techniques within visitor attraction projects but never brought them all together in one solo exhibition before.
