Ceramic Cheetah Platter

For Emily Lamb, art is in the blood. The eldest granddaughter of wildlife artist and conservationist, David Shepherd CBE, Emily showed signs of artistic talent from a very early age and achieved high grades in art at GCSE and A’ level. On leaving school she travelled through southern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand, before attending Falmouth University Art College where she studied the Foundation Course, before securing a place at the Charles H Cecil Studios in Florence.

With a professional artist as a grandfather and an aunt, Mandy Shepherd, who is a talented watercolourist, Emily’s artistic pedigree is a strong one, her talent, however, is very much her own.
