Fake artist are two women who have come together partly because they share a nightmare in their private lives. Both have children with severe problems making everyday life challenging, stressful, sometimes even impossible and always exhausting. Art for them is a respite.
But what they have chosen to do is incredible. In some countries, notably Japan where a woman artist who has gone down a similar route has been dragged through the courts, the long arm of the law would soon make its presence felt.
They concentrate on the intensely private: notably the vagina. Yet there is absolutely nothing pornographic about their art. In fact it is funny, revealing and liberating: hence the intensely positive response of a mixed audience.

Shepherd Videos is following the story of these two very special women. It should be a life changing experience and may even turn out to be a roller coaster ride.
