Glenn Olcerst creates stone art installations for custom backsplashes, mantels, tabletops, bathrooms, and outdoor mural installations. Working with materials like marble, granite, and onyx, his sophisticated mosaics are meticulously planned and handcrafted. Each is designed to make a statement and bring everyday spaces to life.
Glenn creates distinctive, often one-of-a-kind pieces. For his complex mosaics, Glenn works each element with his fingers often centimeters from the blade to shape the materials into exacting forms and dynamic patterns. He has mastered a multi-step process to (1) rough cut each mosaic piece, (2) fine carve with diamond wheel grinding and shaping, (3) polish the elements (itself a 10-step process), (4) hand apply epoxy, and (5) place the elements into the pattern, and (6) mount the final piece into a custom welded-steel frame.
Glenn seeks new private and commercial clients for stone art installations. For Pittsburgh’s famous Mexican War Streets neighborhood, Glenn installed an exterior mural titled First Historic District inspired by the historic architecture of his neighborhood. He looks forward to more opportunities to add lasting beauty to public and private spaces.
