Fused Glass Table Sculpture: Hoe A Mau - Gazing At Stars
"Hoe a mau" means to paddle together- to make the most of each contributor's strength. This glass sculpture is composed of three elements: the mountains, the surf and the deep ocean. The glass was kiln carved with patterns reminiscent of the Ko'olau mountains with their craggy faces, the swirl of the surf as it hits the shore and the beautiful stars of the deep ocean- the sea urchins. Each piece was then kiln formed into curing shapes that interplay with each other. It is set upon a base of travertine framed in mahogany. This piece makes a unique table sculpture that transmits and reflects the ambient light in the room. Each viewing angle offers a new vista. Approximate dimensions: 9.5" D x 13" W x 9.5" H

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 Ariel's Glasswork4.5Michelle is great, she is very good at communicating and sent alot of messages most with a picture or 2 of her process which was great to see. I needed it by a certain date and she finished in very close to that date (there was a few issues with material orders) and it was gorgeous!
Very impressed and I thank her very much again! - BM

For stained glass for transom window over front door5.0What 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.

For bathroom skylight5.0I have never worked with an artist without physically meeting and seeing the artist's work, but my experience with Michelle Caron was as close to being there as possible. I was able to describe my ideas for the stain glass skylight, and received an abundance of her visions and colors throughout the sketching of the project before it was clear that we both were happy with her plans. I was even more delighted to receive such a beautifully detailed piece of art that expresses Michelle's talent and CARE for the happiness of the client. We are fortunate to showcase such a piece of art in our, now enhanced, home.
