Fernando Cornejo, Multi-Media Painter

As a very visual person, Fernando Cornejo, a multimedia painter enjoys being hands on and getting messy with his art. Winning Best in Show at Normal, Illinois' Sugar Creek Arts Festival this year, as well as last year, Cornejo is a local favorite. He has been an artist for 17 years, and been doing a similar technique to reverse glass painting after discovering it by accident since his senior year of college. His work hangs in galleries in both Chicago and St. Louis. The prices of his pieces range from $20-$800.
