This sculpture features hand raked glass that I create in my kiln. The piece was commissioned to celebrate the retirement of an Army Officer and the torch ginger was selected to honor her leadership and give it the feel of Hawaii where she was stationed. Among her many accomplishments, she started and lead a support group for women in the military. Their motto is incorporated into the design using liquid gold. The fused glass piece is 12.5" x 9" and is seated in a travertine base that is framed in mahogany. The overall dimensions of the piece are: 13.5" x 9.5" x 6.5"

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 Pendant ProjectMichelle is great to work with! This was my first time using CustomMade, Michelle helped me through the process and made the experience fun. Michelle is kind, creative and timely. She created a pendant for my sister's birthday inspired from a broach entitled "Breaking the Glass Ceiling" and included me in the whole process. I know my sister will love her birthday present!

For Table Sculpture Of Fused Glass - I Luna, Up AboveI was extremely pleased with the final peice. She was very professional. In the beginning I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, but she gave me suggestions and guided me throughout the project. I got to see how the peice looked like from the time she started, the middle, until the very end of the project. The final peice was well wrapped and neat once it had arrived to my home. The peice was very detailed and breath taking. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to have a customize table sculpture.
