Bob Cornelis is an award-winning California photographer who has been exhibiting his work for more than 25 years. He also has a background in painting and monoprinting, efforts which continue to influence his photographic work along the path of handmade reproduction.
After a long career in technology, Bob turned his attention to the art world and established one of the earliest fine art digital printing studios in the country. His focus from the beginning has been on the art of the print, and in the last several years he has dedicated himself to the craft of printmaking using 19th century techniques such as platinum/palladium, gum bichromate and cyanotype. He often combines these prints with handset letterpress and handbound books and boxes to create one-of-a-kind art objects.
Bob is largely self-taught but has studied with various photographers, letterpress mentors and bookmakers over time including Keith Carter, Kerik Kouklis, John DeMerritt, Eric Johnson and Brian Taylor.
His work has been shown in galleries and museums around the country and he has been published in periodicals including The Hand Magazine and Diffusion. In 2013 he published a book STUDIO: 50 Sonoma County Artists.
