You can visit the real life studio and gallery of artist the late Neil Sheppard (alias Shep) [1956-2015]. The Gallery is open part-time, and you are invited to phone them for an appointment to book a viewing.
From an early age Shep always enjoyed drawing, and started his art career working in pen and ink. In 1998 he ventured into colour, painting in acrylics, and in 2005 began experimenting with oils. In latter years Shep painted full time, taught painting/drawing workshops and enjoyed periods of invited 'artist in residence'.
His legacy of artwork is available for viewing and includes Originals, museum quality Limited Edition and Memorial Edition Reproductions for purchase.
