Lynn Glaser is a painter living and working in Berkeley, California. She trained as a pianist from childhood and earned degrees in both keyboard performance and music history before returning to Berkeley to study painting at UC Berkeley's Department of Art. It was through music, she says, that she first learned the subtle power of abstraction.

Her paintings often come in parts equated to chamber music configurations — duos, trios, sometimes four-panel quartets that meet to become one piece, running thirty to fifty inches high, each work requiring the presence of every individual panel for a complete whole. Standing in front of Glaser's works, sweeping gestures of oil paint, drawing and layered pigment create a peripheral and affectual horizon awaiting excavation. On linen, both stretched and unstretched, the same impulse turns looser — washes of ink and acrylic left open, unresolved on purpose.

Glaser's work has been shown nationally and internationally, with recent exhibitions at G Street Gallery at the Watershed in Petaluma, the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute at UC Berkeley, and throughout San Francisco, including Letters from Iceland at 871 Fine Arts Gallery, The Lycian Shore at the UBS Building, and Landscape and Memory, also at 871 Fine Arts Gallery. In 1997 she exhibited at the Rockefeller Institute in Bellagio, Italy, and in 2011 she was a in residence at the American Academy in Rome. Early group exhibitions include Cambridge Arts Association National Prize Show in Cambridge, Massachusetts, juried by Maxwell L. Anderson, then director of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
