A Québec native, Gaétan Caron immigrated to Northern California in 1999. Very quickly he realized he would never get enough of the inspiration San Francisco and its surrounding counties could provide. The richness in the shape and texture of the burgundy red Manzanita tree and its cousin, the melon orange Madrone that he encountered in Mendocino county inspired Gaétan to the point of abandoning clay, his focus at the time, and making the sinuous wood one of his primary mediums. Gaétan's collecting skills enable him to incorporate found objects into his designs including artwork from the Lost Art Salon Collection.
Prior to California, Gaétan obtained a partial degree in Ceramics at École de Céramique Bonsecours in Montréal.

lamp shade, vintage light fixture and original art by Richard Van
Wingerden from the 1940s. Most lamp shades can be transformed into an
original art shade by Caron using works on paper from The Lost Art
Collection. The artwork is separated from the light source by being
placed between two layers of clear acrylic sheets and the lamp shade
