Details

Bob Shafer is a self-taught, colored pencil artist who has lived locally his entire life. A 1977 graduate of King's College, he worked as an IT programmer for the state for nearly 30 years, retiring in 2016. Bob began developing his artistic talents about 18 months ago. “I always knew I had talent but have just recently peaked my skills through research and practice. I began by drawing celebrity portraits with graphite pencil. A few months later, I began using colored pencil and drawing still life, landscapes, animals, ect. I just really love to draw and do it pretty much daily. It has been exciting seeing how much better my drawings have become over time with experience. Your eyes just begin to see things they never saw before in the details. I love working with black paper as it makes the colors look so vibrant. I hope you enjoy my work as much I have enjoyed creating them. Thank you very much for viewing my work."
