Bobby Glass was drawn to the West Coast in 2008, following script of the Bay Area Beats and completed his MLA from UC-Berkeley in 2011. Soon after, he began to host Space Open gatherings with Darryl Jones around the Bay Area, monthly meet-ups intended to fulfill the need for a space where multi-media art making and group critique occur. His artwork is sparked both by these gatherings where abstract figure drawings express a reinterpretation of form, and further excursions into the California landscape evoke plein air watercolor painting and poetry from the Haiku masters of Japan.
