Modern Tropical Stained Glass Sidelight Windows - Manoa Banana Leaves
This pair of sidelight windows were created for a home that overlooks a lush tropical valley. The client wanted some visual interest added to the plantation style sliding glass door.way without blocking the view. Lightly textured architectural glass was used so that the beautiful view was not obscured. The design features arching banana leaves and each side has a unique design though both side are anchored with a vertical band centered on a pair of pale amethyst roundels. I chose banana leaves because their broad shape would keep the design open and their gentle curves reflected the laid back ambiance of the house and its owners. Though I didn't know it at the time of submitting the design, the owners of the house had owned a farm when they first came to Hawaii and their logo incorporated banana leaves. This made the design all the more personal to them. Contact me to commission a a set of sidelights that is uniquely yours.
Dimensions: each window is 36" x 24"

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.

Feb 23, 2024What a wonderful artist Michelle is! After meeting with us initially to better understand what we had in mind for the transom window, she prepared several artist drawings with suggested themes. Every one was a possibility that we could have been pleased with. With her talent it made it difficult to decide. We settled on one, then changed to another, and finally after incorporating elements from more than one, and with further changes and additions we finally settled on what has become a work of art in the 6' wide arched transom window above our 8' front doors. It incorporates elements of the family's heritage with a truly wonderful rondel at it's center.

Dec 23, 2023From initial contact to delivery, Michelle has been nothing but a consummate professional. The piece she made is not only gorgeous, but exactly what I was hoping for when I first posted my request. I could not possibly be more happy with the work she has done, the speed she made the piece with, and her communication throughout the entire process, both in explaining the options available, and turning my idea into a treasured glass artwork.
