Tom Shepherd kicked off his creative career using graffiti pens to draw bright and colorful custom artwork on guitars, but when he finally fell into the exciting and creative world of watercolor through his love of birds, he genuinely found his artistic voice.

“The expressive brushstrokes and free-flowing nature of watercolor are perfect for capturing the fleeting flashes of birds – their colors, their character and their movement.”

Tom’s work is collected all over the world and on several occasions, he has been a finalist in the world-renowned Wildlife Artist of the Year. He’s currently working on his first book.

Tom enjoys sharing his knowledge to help others on their artistic journey. His career in the UK skyrocketed when he became a highly regarded and sought-after tutor, sharing not only his love of birds, but also his passion for the quality materials used to paint them.
