Precious Cargo by Mandy Shepherd, depicts a pangolin carrying its tiny offspring carefully along its back. The intricate, armor-like scales contrast with the tender scene of a mother guiding her young through the wild. Mandy’s delicate details capture the pangolins’ vulnerability and beauty, highlighting their rarity and the urgent need to protect these remarkable animals. This piece is a heartfelt tribute to nature’s delicate balances and the precious connections between mother and child.

More about
Mandy Shepherd
Mandy is one of DSWF’s Art Ambassadors. She was born in 1960 with her art career beginning in late school life with a mackerel! Her art teacher was so impressed by this unexpected ‘creation’ that it was rushed home to show Mandy’s father. That surprise moment was a milestone and her career path was set. After an unrelenting Foundation year at The Byam Shaw she then completed an honours degree at Brighton, travelling to Africa soon after. Mandy spent two years in Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa working with a leading advertising agency in Harare during independence, with a gallery in Johannesburg and managed to establish her own painting style at the same time. She staged her first sell-out solo show in Zimbabwe in 1980 and then returned to London to set up a studio. In 1995 she visited the Falklands which marked a major turning point in her career. She took on military subjects recording military history and events. Portraiture is also a huge part of her portfolio creating a broad portfolio but wildlife is her first love. Taking safaris and travelling across the globe has allowed her to use her art to keep close to the world of conservation. Mandy lives and works in the UK.
