This piece was commissioned to honor and celebrate a beloved librarian. Her colleagues and friends brainstormed all of the many things that were dear to her and that reminded them of her: the favorite tales she loved to share with children; she was a niece of Georgia O'Keefe; she always wore red socks, etc. Stained glass, fused glass, mica inclusions and copper overlay techniques were incorporated to create this story of a story teller. It is installed in the library she loved so well. And so, her story goes on.

I create custom stained glass windows and fused glass art work with unique designs and handcrafted excellence. My passion for glass germinated in the cathedrals of France, developed roots in Hawai`i and is now branching out in Oregon. Commissioning artwork is very rewarding. The result is a piece of art to which you have a uniquely personal connection. Your involvement in the process can range from a general idea of the design or purpose of the piece to an ongoing conversation as we develop a design that expresses your voice. Your satisfaction is always my primary goal. Finding the perfect gift is time well spent when you give a quality handmade item that brings joy to the person who receives it. In addition to commission work, I create ready-to-purchase boutique items each of which is unique. From fused glass sculptures that bring new energy into a space, fused glass table ware for that special occasion, to personal items for the office and library, or one of a kind jewelry, you'll find your next piece to gift or treasure at Caron Art Glass.

For Custom Stained Glass Pendant Light with chainMichelle was a pleasure to work with and worked very hard to make my vision a reality--while making suggestions along the way. She was always available, responsive, and accountable. The lamp exceeded my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to work with Michelle again.

For Family Crest Stained Glass PanelAfter an exhaustive search for a stain glass artist to create an odd shaped side window panel and incorporate our family crest, Michelle Caron was selected.
From our initial contact with her we were impressed. Then she worked with us (giving us several options) than helping us "hone in" on the colors and style we wanted, the project was a go.
During the process, we received regular updates with photographs of the progress. As such, Michelle remained available, professional and friendly.
Above all, the final product more than exceeded out expectations.
Thank you Michelle!
