Nic McGuire is a modern glass artist living in San Diego, CA.  An Encinitas native, he began his glass studies at Palomar College, and then earned a Bachelors degree from UCSD.  Best known as a hot glass sculptor hand-forming molten glass into contemporary art, Nic's work incorporates complex sculptural techniques, using modern forms and unique color palettes.  His intricate patterns and skillfully crafted forms of glass and metal make each piece of art a unique one-of-a-kind sculpture.

Nic enjoys spending his time making high quality original glass sculptures to share the beauty of life with others.

The glass is alive when it is hot, it has a mind of its own and a memory. It has a mysteriousness about it that captures our curiosity. Hard like a rock, yet as transparent as the air we look through. The molten glass has exotic properties compared to other materials you come into contact with on a day-to-day basis. It glows with a brilliance of color and emits an enormous amount of heat that challenge a sculptor to find a way to control these extreme properties in order to achieve a finished piece of art. Stainless steel armatures bring a new elegance to the sculptures.
