Commissions
Turn your memories into meaningful art.
Whether you want to capture the feeling of a favourite place, enhance your home with a statement piece, or simply bring more beauty into your everyday surroundings, Glenn Russell Art offers custom artworks crafted to reflect your story and style.
Glenn creates bespoke paintings, mosaics, murals, and more, drawing inspiration from nature, wildlife, and the rich tapestry of landscapes—especially those discovered through travel and holiday experiences.
Types of Custom Artwork Available
View examples of our Custom Artwork here.
Paintings – Acrylic & Oil on Canvas
Commission an original painting inspired by your favourite beach, bushland, or landscape scene—perhaps a special place you’ve travelled to, or a view that evokes calm and connection. Glenn works in both acrylic and oil on canvas, creating richly layered works in your chosen size and colour palette.
Subject matter may include:
-
Coastal seascapes
-
Australian bushland or flora
-
Wildlife
-
Landscape scenes from travels or cherished locations
Mosaics – Indoor & Outdoor Designs
Every mosaic Glenn creates is hand-cut and meticulously arranged using coloured glass or ceramic tiles. Mounted on durable board or backing, these works can be designed for:
-
Outdoor feature walls
-
Garden or courtyard décor
-
Decorative elements for wood-fired pizza ovens or outdoor kitchens
-
House numbers or welcome signage
-
“Snapshot” scenes of travel memories – from Tuscan villages to island beaches
-
Symbolic animal or bird motifs (e.g. sea eagles, kookaburras, turtles)
All mosaics are suitable for long-term outdoor display, making them ideal for personalised installations that reflect your lifestyle and story.
Murals – Transform a Wall, Tell a Story
Bring a large space to life with a mural that captures the essence of a place you love. Glenn specialises in murals that feature:
-
Native Australian birds and animals
-
Coastal and rural landscapes
-
Scenic locations from past travels
Murals can be designed for garden walls, patios, interior living spaces, commercial venues, and more.
What Inspires Glenn’s Custom Work?
Glenn draws heavily from travel, nature, and the landscapes of memory. Whether it’s a sea eagle seen daily on a past coastal walk, a view from a beloved hiking trail, or the warm tones of a European village, Glenn translates those feelings into lasting artwork.
Your own experiences—especially those linked to special holidays or homes—can serve as the starting point for a completely unique piece.
