For this project, the client wanted a stained glass panel that would show case the logo of his graphic design company, Ikaika 13. The lines of the logo were very important so we decided to do the central area as a fused glass element in order to maintain the focus on the logo. Because he intended to hang the piece against a wall, the glass is opaque so that the color intensity isn't dependent upon transmitted light. I used red and blue dichroic glass for the logo to give it some pop with iridescent white for the surround. For the border, I created a design that deconstructs the logo in each of the four quadrants. The finished panel is 24" x 36" and makes a real statement in the client's home.

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 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!

For bathroom skylightI 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.
