AnneKarin was born into an environment where originality and creativity were prized and rewarded. Her father is Henry P. Glass, one of the founders of the field of industrial design and one of the pace setting designers in America during the 20th century. His work is displayed in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago as well as museum and private collections in the United States and Europe. Her mother, Eleanor, is a guilded master dressmaker. AnneKarin began her studies at her fathers knee and spent most of her summer vacations during her childhood studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where her father headed the Industrial Design Department. AnneKarin continued to study and create, paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and sculpture during high school and college. In the Peace Corps in Brazil, she established a leather goods factory to give unemployed leather workers steady jobs. She was responsible for designing and making the patterns for shoes, bags, belts, jewelry and household items in leather. There she also produced a body of woodcut prints and photographs. Subsequent to finishing her Master's degree at Illinois Institute of Technology, she moved to San Francisco, where she established her own corporation. She has designed and produced architectural graphics as well as illustrations, photographs and graphic design for print and electronic media. She has exhibited her work in juried shows at the Art Institute of Chicago; SOMARTS Gallery, Modesto Lanzoni Gallery, 23rd Street Gallery, Bonhams & Butterfields in San Francisco; Green House Gallery in San Antonio; and soloed at the Winter Festival in Lencois, Ba., Brazil.

Her work is included in the collections of Leroi Moore, saxophonist for the Dave Matthews Band, Jill Eickenberry and Michael Tucker, stars of LA Law, St. Francis Hospital, and numerous other private and corporate collections worldwide.

AnneKarin continues to educate her hand and eye through drawing, painting, sculpture and photography. The form of the human figure and the emotion of gesture frequently inspire her drawings and paintings. Her sculpture expresses humor and pathos through constructions in various materials such as bicycle boxes, sheet copper, rope, vinyl, and papier mache. Her photography focuses on abstraction, the colors and textures in the natural world.
