Mora is a University of Texas at San Antonio senior art lecturer who was born in Yahualica, Jalisco, in Mexico and is heavily influenced by his experiences immigrating to the United States' border town of Laredo, TX. His work is features intricately carved surreal representations of a "typical" Mexican-American's life, iconography, and beliefs. Mora's objective is to bring people together with sentimental, sarcastic, and satirical themes.

Mora is the first artist with UTSA ties to be featured in the Smithsonian American Art Museum (with five recently acquired linocuts). He has also been collected by the National Museum of Mexican Art (Chicago, IL), The McNay Art Museum (San Antonio, TX), Benson Latin American Collection (Austin, TX).
