David Shepherd (bio)
David Shepherd - "to start with, my life was a series of disasters". Growing up in the 1930’s, his one ambition was to be a game warden in Kenya and so, on leaving school, he went to Kenya and was promptly told by the National Parks people that he was not wanted. On returning to England, David was faced with two choices. One was ‘to drive a bus for a living’ and the other was to pursue the only other possibility: painting. However, he admits that he had very little interest in art and certainly no talent; for he was promptly rejected by the Slade School of Fine Art as ‘untrainable’.

Paul James (bio)
I first remember painting ‘Dr Who’ characters at playschool when I was about four years old. I can recall drawing alongside my Dad, who as a reasonable artist himself was the first person to influence me. Together we drew pages and pages of racing cars and steam trains and it was Mum that commented on how good mine were. I would also spend hours on end modelling with plasticine and mechano.

Tony Forrest (bio)
My artistic ability emerged at a very early age. At the age of eight I have a clear memory of having a fascination with ‘paint by numbers,’ and painting overtook any other form of amusement. I’m happy to say that I no longer use this artificial technique!

Wendy Corbett (bio)
Although I did art to ‘A’ level standard I never really considered it as a career option as my real ambition was to work with animals. However, as a youngster I was discouraged by teachers from doing this, who suggested that I think of a ‘real’ job instead. This was reason that I actually ended up becoming a teacher. On doing this job I found that I was not suited to it at all and subsequently left with absolutely no idea what I was going to do.
