bio
Whether it be a decrepit structure, deserted landscape or a lone figure, Bob Gherardi sees a brilliance and a splendor in the withering things of this world. His ability to perceive the subtle and almost undetectable beauty in the forgotten and distressed carry on in the themes of his award winning work. They persist to draw us in and experience a brokeness covering a different kind of glory capturing moments that seem to have been lost amungst the everyday.
