Robert Buelteman

Artist Biography

Robert Buelteman is committed to the great things in life and it is reflected in his photographs, which portray the universe as designed and life as purposeful. His art, prints and posters are a powerful extraction of beauty and substance, revealing unrecognized dimensions in the commonplace.

Buelteman developed his love of the landscape as a child growing up in the small town of Woodside on the peninsula south of San Francisco. From his family's home he looked out onto the Santa Cruz Mountains, whose deep canyons, redwood groves, and daily tides of ocean-borne fog inspired the veneration of life and light that appear in his art, prints and posters today.

He has published eight photographic portfolios in his twenty-five years behind the camera, and two of these, A Vision of Life and The Unseen Peninsula, have been reproduced and successfully distributed as books. He has received accolades from institutions as diverse as the United States Congress, the Commonwealth Club of California and the Natural Resources Defense Council. His art, prints and posters are found in public and private collections worldwide, including the Yale University Art Museum, Bank of America, Xerox and Nikon.
