Fused Glass Table Sculpture - I `Uka, The Mountains
The rich, vibrant colors of this table sculpture are inspired by the traditional Hawaiian chant Ke Ao Nani- This Beautiful World. The verse that describes I `Uka tells of the the strength of the trees that, nourished by the gentle rainfall, grow straight and tall as the slopes of the mountains rise high. In the upper corner is a lava red square with layers of dichroic glass in orange, copper, red and gold - a reminder that our island home is volcanic. The tomato, steel blue, amber, cobalt and midnight blue colors add energy to any space. The sculpture is composed of a 6" x 6" fused glass square that is mounted in a copper frame. This is seated in a slate base and framed in mahogany. The overall dimensions of the sculpture are 8.5" H x 7.5" W x 4.5" D.

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.

Her open communication and ability to know what I’m talking about and making it happen is like nothing Ive experienced. She finished the project in the timeframe given, kept me updated every step Of the way and the value...well I’m hoping my friend thinks it’s priceles.
