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 father’s 
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.
