Byron will be visiting our Gallery

Saturday, July 10

1-7 pm

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.

These are the available prints in our inventory. Please call or email for information and availability of other prints by this artist.

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.

Please Note: any imperfections in these images are due to the scanned replica- all prints are in perfect condition.

Note: Older Sold Out prints are subject to price changes due to fluctuation of the market.

Byron Birdsall Framed Originals Available in our Gallery

All of our originals by Byron are framed with conservation, acid free framing. Please email us for a photo of the art showing the framing if it is not shown in the photogallery.

Madonna Collection Holiday Ornaments

Each ornament is a reproduction of an original icon by Byron Birdsall. It has been produced using the finest porcelain and 24 kt. gold, and sells for $24 each.

Byron Birdsall Original Stone Lithograph Portfolios

The Gallery is offering two sets of original stone lithograph portfolios, in original hard, cloth covered boxes, with cover page and letter of authenticity. The overall size of each deckled edge print is 11x15". Printed and published by Solstice Press.
