About Yumiko Glover

Yumiko Glover is a Japanese-born, Los Angeles–based painter whose work explores transience, memory, and renewal through layered abstraction and references to Japanese aesthetics. Her practice is informed by her upbringing in Hiroshima and twenty-five years spent in Honolulu, Hawai'i, before relocating to California, where she currently lives in the historic Little Tokyo neighborhood of Los Angeles.
 

Her paintings are included in the permanent collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art and have been exhibited at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design, and the Torrance Art Museum. Glover has held recent solo exhibitions at the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego, the Washington Studio School in Washington, D.C.,  Bakersfield College, and Mount Saint Mary's University, Los Angeles.

She earned her BFA from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and her MFA from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she currently teaches painting courses.
