Sheppard was a marine painter born in Greenwich, New Jersey to a ship captain father who instilled in his son a love and respect for the sea. He studied privately with Mauritz F. H. De Haas and took courses in drawing at Cooper Union in New York City. Sheppard traveled along the Mediterranean coast in 1879, sketching the ports of Naples, Gibraltar, Geneo, and Messina. His foreign tours continued between 1888 and 1893, with stays in Paris and Venice, where he captured the architecture and busy canals of the Floating City. This fondness for travel also translated to his home country. He sailed along the East Coast from New Jersey to Main in search of subjects and was an expert navigator, eventually writing the book “Practical Navigation”.
