Nic McGuire is a contemporary glass artist living in San Diego, California—an Encinitas native who received his bachelor’s degree in visual arts from UCSD. He is known as a hot-glass sculptor who hand-forms molten glass into contemporary art. His work incorporates complex sculptural techniques with modern forms and unique color palettes to produce his current series of artwork. The intricately crafted forms of glass and metal make each piece a unique, one-of-a-kind sculpture. The subject matter of winged creatures—birds and butterflies—evokes a sense of flight, inspiring us to continue flying on our own journey. Nic enjoys spending time with his family, diving in the ocean, and making high-quality original glass sculptures to share the beauty of life with others. His work can be found at many fine art galleries around the country.
