  The watercolor paintings of Byron Birdsall are distillations of reality, scenes reduced to their basics with the integrity of the subject undiminished.  In Birdsall's hands, light takes on a thousand forms, whether inspired by the relentless vertical rays of the East African coast, a hazy palpable dawn over Samoa, or the silent light of the winter Northland that illuminates but does not warm.  It is this essential aspect of light that is at the heart of Birdsall's  art.  It is the life he gives this light that has cast him to the forefront of Alaska's art community and beyond.

Byron Birdsall's paintings are included in the collections of a number of museums and public institutions, hang in corporate board rooms and atriums, are owned by royalty, presidents, new fans, and loyal friends.  The printing of a U.S. Postage stamp in 1992, designed by the artist and commemorating the building of the Alcan Highway, was a personal high point for Birdsall, an avid stamp collector.

In 2005 Birdsall had the honor of appointment to the American Academy in Rome where he worked and painted for three months.  Currently he is painting for a book to be published by a maritime transport company with holdings around the world.  This has taken the inveterate traveler to South America, Korea, Boston, and Sakhalin Island.  A future project is a show of paintings of Jerusalem, scheduled for July 2008.

A frequent visitor to Homer and our Gallery, Byron and his wife now divide their time between their homes on Whidbey Island in Washington State and Anchorage, Alaska.

Byron has a new series of Holiday Ornaments: The Madonna Collection made from fine porcelain.  These are shown at the bottom of this page.
