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.

A Byron Birdsall Retrospective
We are featuring a
number of older prints, sold out at the publisher, which the Art Shop
Gallery has available. Most of these are Artist's Proofs, which
means that they belong to the artist and are generally sold after the
numbered prints in the Limited Edition series are no longer available
from the publisher. We are
representing the artist in their sale. These are signed by
Byron, but instead of a number they are marked with an AP.
