Michelle T. Lapointe, also known as The Glass Connector, is a stained glass artist, painter, and photographer based in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Working from the historic mill environment of New Bedford, her practice centers on original stained-glass creations that transform color, light, and structure into intimate visual experiences. Her work reflects both craftsmanship and personal expression, using glass not only as a material but as a way to connect memory, place, and atmosphere. Through her studio practice, Lapointe continues the long tradition of glass art while bringing it into a contemporary, deeply personal language. Her pieces invite viewers to look closely at how light changes what we see, turning everyday space into something luminous, reflective, and quietly emotional.
