This piece was inspired by my ambiguous relationship to Zoom during the pandemic. At times, it was a way to keep in contact with loved ones but I confess, sometimes I felt like it was a chore reflecting the saturation that comes with ease. I wanted to express both the joy of coming together and the need to flee from the tidy boxes we frequently found ourselves in. The fused glass is composed of hand raked glass with indigo square insets. Hand raked glass cabochons, glass frit and stringer are sintered onto the surface of the glass adding texture, depth and a sense of movement to the piece. The glass is seated in black slate and framed in wood.
Approximate dimensions: 9.5"h x 7.5" w x 5.5" 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.

For Custom Stained Glass Pendant Light with chainMichelle was a pleasure to work with and worked very hard to make my vision a reality--while making suggestions along the way. She was always available, responsive, and accountable. The lamp exceeded my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to work with Michelle again.

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 Ariel's GlassworkMichelle 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!
