David Shepherd is regarded by many as being the world's leading wildlife artist.Paintings such as 'Wise Old Elephant' have made him internationally famous,and he feels passionately that he should repay his debt to wildlife.He has done so in a big way - he has raised some two million pounds (then 1989) for wildlife conservation.His 'Tiger Fire' painting alone raised £127,000 to help save the tiger, and he has now formed his own charity,'The David Shepherd Conservation Foundation'. David permanently has a three-year backlog of commissioned work; when he has a one-man show,whether in New York,London or Johannesburg,there is a queue of buyers who draw lots for the paintings. For hiis hobby,David again thinks big.He is founder and chairman of The East Somerset Railway,a registered charity, the home of Black Prince and The Green Knight,two mammoth steam locomotives he bought in full working order from British Rail.The railway also helps return something to wildlife - it earned £7,000 on the day it was officially opened by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands,the then International President of the World Wide Fund for Nature, and all the money was given to the Fund.

Geraldine Lucia Norman is a mathematician and writer. Norman began her career as a statistician for The London Times.  1962. In 1967 she was the statistician who launched the Times-Sotheby index of art prices which ran from the 1967-71. She progressed in 1969 to become the Sale Room Correspondent of The Times. Norman gained a name during that time as Christie's disliked her. She asked awkward questions about secret practices within the industry. She continued her inquisitive nature when she uncovered that 13 drawings by the 19th-century artist Samuel Palmer were forgeries. On 16 July 1976 she published a sensational article in The Times claiming they were modern forgeries and later identified that they had been created by an artist called Tom Keating.[5] She has also investigated authenticity of Van Goghs. In 1987 she left The Times as she had objected to the Murdoch takeover. Norman joined The Independent newspaper as Art Market Correspondent eventually leaving in 1995 to focus on writing. Roles which she took on after leaving the Independent were as director of The Hermitage Development Trust, editor of the Magazine and chief executive of the Hermitage Foundation UK., Thames & Hudson, 1987, 5, Wiley, 1999-01-04.
