Eve Shepherd M.R.B.S, S.P.S was described as ‘unique in the world of modern sculptors’ by Professor Anthony Stone, a former President of the Society of Portrait Sculptors. Eve has been compared with Rodin, and is predicted to become “one of the greatest artists of our time.” Using traditional mediums and methods with a contemporary twist, Eve’s consistent ability to produce works, which though often challenging to the viewer, portray an exquisite sensitivity and honesty rarely seen in contemporary sculpture.
