Mr Shepherd, who lived in Frensham and spent some years near East Grinstead in West Sussex, had a second love which cemented his legacy as an artist.
It was Mr Shepherd’s wildlife art and care for endangered species that led him to create the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) in 1984.
Ms Lamb is also the CEO of the foundation which carries on his legacy.
She said her grandfather had a “lifelong passion” for both subjects, which he painted “with equal love and skill”.
The DSWF, based in Shalford, operates across Africa and Asia to end wildlife crime and protect endangered species in their natural habitat.
