Ari Glass is an American painter, designer and musician. He is born in 1989 in Seattle. Ari Glass attended art classes at Franklin High School and briefly studied graphic design at Seattle Central College, but otherwise has no formal artistic training. He habitually uses gold paint in his works. His art paintings are often described as being inspired by fictional concepts of royalty (kings, queens and kingdoms). Besides working in the visual arts, he has also created a music EP, designed a clothing line (called Reverie) and was involved with the Graffiti Village Tour. Glass received a GAP funding for his debut solo exhibition: "The Sun is Made of Gold" at Gallery 2312 in Belltown in 2015.
