About the host: AnneKarin was born in Chicago to Henry P. and Elly Glass.  Theirs was an artistic household.  Henry was educated in the Wiener Werkstadt and was one of the founders of the field of Industrial Design in the U.S.  Elly was a member of the Viennese Dressmakers’ Guild.  Both of them taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  AnneKarin grew up in Northfield IL and graduated from New Trier HS in 1961.  She received her BA in Anthropology from the University of Illinois, Urbana, in 1966 and joined the Peace Corps that same year.  She served as a Volunteer for three years in Ilheus, Bahia, Brazil, where she founded a leather working factory that provided steady work for local shoe makers.  Upon her return she went to Illinois Institute of Technology where she received an MA in Linguistics.
She tolerated the weather in Chicago until 1973 when she moved to San Francisco where Peace Corps friends facilitated her settlement into a new life on the West Coast.  Two months after she arrived she broke her leg in a ski accident and spent 11 months in a cast.  When able to walk again, she pursued a sign painting business which grew into a brokerage for architectural graphics.  From that she moved into print brokering, specializing in 3-D displays.  This enabled her to buy the house she was living in on Potrero Hill in San Francisco.
The recession in 1989 plus the introduction of computer technology into the world of print created a crossroad.  AnneKarin decided to give up the printing business and return to graduate school where she earned a graduate certificate in Educational Therapy.  She specialized in perception/cognition and opened a private practice, helping children and adults with learning disabilities to address the underlying causes of their learning problems.  
During all these years AnneKarin continued to pursue visual art.  Today she works as an artist, focusing on the figure.  When no model is available she enjoys painting still lifes, abstracts, and landscapes.  She has shown her work internationally and in many competitions across the U.S.  She is a member of the Artists’ Guild of San Francisco.
AnneKarin lives with Clebia, whom she met in Ilheus when she was a Peace Corps volunteer. Clebia is a case worker for intellectually challenged adults and a gourmet cook.  Clebia and AnneKarin enjoy travel, walking in the outdoors, fine dining, music, the ballet, who done-its, and old and new friendships.
