About the artist: Bob resides on San Juan Island with his wife Judy Chovan and golden retrievers Tosca and Sam. Since retiring from a career as a Partner with Price Waterhouse Coopers in 2001, he has devoted his time to making images that bring out the extraordinary qualities of light and texture of the world around him.
Bob uses scanned 35mm transparencies or a digital camera to capture the original images. Using Photoshop as a "digital darkroom," he then makes color balance and contrast adjustments. The prints are made on an HI 130 large-format printer using dye-based inks and specially coated paper for an archival quality Giclee print.
