Best known as an international figure skating champion, yet Sir Shepherd, or "Shep" to his friends, is unique in that he is becoming recognized as the world's most inspired jeweler. But, he is much, much more. His signature, which starts with a treble clef, is just one indicator that this man is truly a singularity. A person who asked God to be able to use all that he ever loved, to achieve something greater than he ever sought. Having competed around the world with the world's most famous figure skaters, Shepherd has appeared on TV for many years, performing and exhibiting. He also has some experience with motion pictures and music videos from his life in Hollywood over the years. Yet, what makes his so very unusual is ability to combine these unique characteristics after a pivotal moment in his life. He is |
presently being presented as one of the world's most unusual artists, as well as being recognized for his business acumen and for ministry. Shepherd creates magnificent jeweled oil paintings, which are initially inspired by a story, and then skated, carved into the ice as he "dances upon an ice crystal", to music which is reflective of that story. He takes this image and recorded motion, delivering it to canvas in an extremely bold and vivid musical interpretation of a curvilinear nature. This is then adorned with any and all rare and exotic gems and crystals, surrounded by a massive and brilliant gold high relief frame, which he states laughingly, is intended to be "a piece of jewelry for your house." Since the age of three Shepherd has "danced upon a crystal" in the jeweled sport of figure skating, as well as had a God given talent for designing jewels and telling treasure stories. He is a most unique jeweler who is currently developing a motion picture that concludes the Hope Diamond's legend, and is built around a true American story of hope where Shepherd overcomes life threatening depression through a miracle provided by God. This is a true story and the inspiration intrinsic to his identity and work today, as well as being a unique ending to the Hope |
Diamond's famous legend. Today, he can be seen riding around Hollywood and Beverly Hills on his jeweled bicycle, "shepherding" his rescue cats that wear magnificent jeweled collars and ride upon his shoulder as he slaloms back and forth!! People stop and inquire and smile, as this is his escape from his very busy schedule. "The best jewels are like candy. You want to taste them !" Sir Shepherd also creates "The Jeweled Knight Cake", which is a decadent chocolate cake with jewels and gold. The jewels can be worn after the cake is gone to commemorate a special day. These are designed to be the world's most precious cakes. The profits of what is generated goes to help people in great need. He is also involved in new media technology to help Americans find employment to save their homes and get on their feet. Though Sir Shepherd's life seems to revolve around the most precious of gold medals and jewels, his real interest is in helping the extremely poor and those who are now struggling day to day as a result of the economy. As a knight invested by the world's oldest order, he is being packaged to promote chivalry in the 21st Century. The motion picture, media campaign, retail, and charity are called "Shepherd's Hope & S.H.O.W." |
