The amazing interaction between light and glass is what first attracted me to this medium over 30 years ago.  For the past 15 years I have been working in fusing - the “art” of taking glass to an almost liquid state and then slowly cooling to fuse the pieces together.  With fusing I find greater flexibility in what I can do as well as create more interesting color and pattern combinations.  Many of my pieces incorporate various metallic foils and iridized glass to further capture and reflect the play of light. In spite of the associated cuts and burns, I get a great deal of satisfaction in working with glass.

Many of my pieces have been influenced by my travels throughout the American Southwest and Latin America.  The holidays are an especially fun time for me and this enjoyment is reflected in my whimsical and humorous holiday pieces which allow my imagination to run wild!

My work has been shown in galleries, wineries, tasting rooms and numerous festivals and art shows in Northern and Central California. 

Current work can be viewed on my web site, moricaglass.googlepages.com, at the Gallery at the Network in San Luis Obispo, the Morro Bay Art Association Gallery, the Ortman Family Vineyards Tasting Room in Paso Robles and the Big White House Winery in Livermore, California.

My studio, Morica Glassworks, is in my San Luis Obispo, California garage where I keep a good supply of sheet glass and even larger supply of band-aids.
