Chris Guercio
Crazy Eye Art Studios
After admiring art glass her entire adult life, Chris Guercio stumbled upon a fused glass class near her home in 2009. She was hooked within just a few sessions, and after a year, she decided to buy a kiln and start fusing at home. She took over her entire family room and most of her laundry room and started experimenting. She has taken classes at Corning Museum of Glass, Pittsburgh Glass Center, Vitrum Studios, Weisser Glass, Salem Community College Glass Center and has studied with glass artists Linda Humphrey and Michael Dupille in their home studios.

I've been creating art since I was a small child living in New York. I attended a high school where my creativity was supported and could flourish. After living in Los Angeles for many years, I came back to the East Coast to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art (aka MICA) and pursue my dream of art. I followed that with a Master of Arts from the University of Baltimore. I worked for many years in the commercial side of art creating graphics and animation for the Intelligence Community. I am now enjoying my lifelong dream of creating fine art paintings full-time.
Being relatively new to Howard County MD, I have spent the last 30 years in 15 different locations, following my husband's career. Art making has always been my touchstone since childhood, my happy soul and safe place, as well as my own creative journey. "MCI" = "Many Changes Instantly" happens to be our family motto.
