Fused Glass Panels For Outdoor Light Fixture - Deep Sea
This project consisted of 11 fused glass panels that were created to fit into a custom made Greene & Greene style light fixture. The client wanted the glass to capture the feel of the ocean (which is just down the street from the house) with cool colors and swirling shapes. Each panel is part of a complete design that encompasses all four sides as well as the bottom panels as well. Areas of hand raked glass add to the organic feel of the piece. The chandeliers use flat LED panels that set flush against the top to illuminate the lantern. The completed piece is a new take on a classic Arts and Crafts style light fixture.

Michelle Caron
Caron Art Glass
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.

Sep 30, 2020I submitted an idea I had for a stained glass window on CustomMade's website. I had no idea what to expect as I had never used the service before. I had a number of artists reach out to me wanting to work with me on my project. When Michelle reach out to me, immediately I knew she was different than the rest. She was humble, genuinely interested in making my project unique and asked all of the right questions. The stained glass window I was requesting to be created was a gift for my mother. Michelle wanted to know all about my ideas and wanted to know all about my mother. She took all of the information I provided and created a beautiful one of a kind piece that flows together. She sketched the design in flawless detail and we went back and forth over minor modifications. Michelle was very patient and understanding through the design process. During the assembly phase, she took the time to provide me with pictures and explanations of the process. Michelle works with speed and efficiency but does not compromise on quality and craftsmanship. My mother now has her stained glass window that she will treasure for a lifetime. I highly encourage anyone in the market for a custom piece to contact Michelle, she will exceed your expectations.

Apr 21, 2021It is with heartfelt appreciation that I welcome the chance to voice my support for Glass artist Michelle Caron. There is no question about Michelle’s talent. She is a remarkable artist as I first discovered when I found her work online. I reached out to her for help with the repair and restoration of a family heirloom. My father-n-law had passed away at the age of 99, and when we were clearing out his home, we discovered a stained-glass piece he had created. It had a couple of obvious breaks and was generally unstable. The truth is I didn’t know what I was looking at. As it turned out, there were many more repairs needed. From the beginning Michelle made me feel comfortable and welcome. She was up front with her prices and open and honest in her appraisal. I was especially impressed with her ongoing project updates. Her willingness to devote valuable time, really listen, and answer all my questions, immediately fostered a trusted artist/client relationship. I highly recommend Michelle Caron as an artist and businesswoman, the perfect blend of passion and compassion Through her solid knowledge base, good judgment, and skilled hands, she guided me through the restoration process with grace and ease. Bonus: It helped me not to worry, and I learned a lot! I am so grateful that fate brought her into my life. Sincerely, Renate Medley
