This pair of fused glass panels were created as part of a kitchen remodel project. What had once been a kitchen window was now an interior wall. In order to increase the light in the kitchen, the client proposed that the former window become a light box behind the fused glass panels creating wall art with light. The design was inspired by travel photos the client had taken while visiting Lake Titicaca. The fond memories and bold palette were a natural fit for the project. I suggested using hand raked glass as a way of keeping the dynamic colors and painterly quality. And so the entire piece is composed of hand raked glass that I created in my kiln. I also added two Aztec symbols the I kiln carved in the bottom left and right hand corners to add to the sense of place. The client decided on using ultra thin LED panels to back light the two panels. The light is adjustable which provides more possibilities for the ambiance. The result is a unique piece of fused glass wall art with a very personal connection for the homeowners. Each panel is 13" x 19"

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 stained glass for transom window over front doorWhat 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 Gregory's Stained GlassFrom 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.
