BIO ANNEKARIN GLASS
AnneKarin was born into an environment where
originality and creativity were prized and
rewarded. Her father, Henry P. Glass, is an icon
of Mid-century Modern Design with 53 design
patents. Museums and galleries worldwide collect
his work. Her mother, Eleanor, was a master
dressmaker, member of the Dressmakers Guild in
Vienna, Austria. In 1939 Elly traveled from
Vienna to Gestapo Headquarters in Berlin and
convinced the SS to release her husband, Henry,
from Dachau. They immigrated to the United
States.
AnneKarin was born in Chicago, where her father
headed the Industrial Design Department at the
School of the Art Institute of Chicago from the
1940s through the 1960s. As a child, she spent
summers taking art classes there. Both her
parents encouraged her interest in fine art and
design. She and her father enjoyed plein aire
sketching together.

She continued her artistic studies during high
school and undergraduate school. In the Peace
Corps in Brazil, she established a leather goods
factory to give part time shoe makers steady
jobs. She designed and marketed shoes, bags,
belts, jewelry, and household items in leather.
She also produced a body of woodcut prints and
photographs and designed Peace Corp conference
programs. After finishing her Master's degree in
Linguistics at Illinois Institute of Technology,
AnneKarin taught English Composition and English
as a Second Language at Loop City College in
Chicago. Her Peace Corps experience and
subsequent academic work informed her
appreciation for the influence language and
culture have in the development of individual
world view and thought process. This interest was
the foundation for a later degree in Educational
Therapy. Tiring of Chicago weather, AnneKarin
moved to San Francisco. Initially, she designed
and produced architectural graphics. Later she
became a print broker, specializing in three
dimensional point-of-sale materials and in-store
displays. This work consisted of contracting and
coordinating projects involving the input of
graphic designers, photographers, illustrators,
lithographers, printers, die cutters, binderies
and almost every service related to the graphic
arts. She produced sales materials for Levi
Strauss, Chevron, Christian Brothers Winery, FCB
Direct Advertising, and many other major
companies in the Bay Area.

After many years in the graphics industry
AnneKarin returned to graduate school for a
graduate certificate in Educational Therapy. She
built a private practice, teaching perceptual and
cognitive skills to children and adults with
learning disabilities. It was a rewarding way to
study brain development through the presentation
of specific visual motor problems for clients to
solve. Though engaged in graphics and education,
AnneKarin never stopped making art. She became
especially interested in the human figure as a
foundation for representational and abstract art.
After her fathers death in 2003 she dedicated
herself full time to the art profession. Award
winning artist, AnneKarin has shown in juried
exhibitions across the United States and soloed
internationally. Her work is included in private
and corporate collections. AnneKarin offers
drawings, paintings, and reproductions of her
figurative, abstract and representational art to
collectors and to the design trade. She licenses
copyrights for publication. And she accepts
commissions that bring together vividly, in one
special painting, the highlights of a mind
expanding experience, for example, a trip that
you want never to forget but want always to
remember.
