About BYrd

My name is Jason BYrd. I think I'm an Artist. I was born into a messy home in Northwest Philadelphia filled with creativity and junk. Many of my works and series incorporate the idea of re-purposing and realizing there are multiple interpretations, or perspectives, in every inch of life.

The youngest of three, my brothers and I were always given freedom to choose our own paths. We were encouraged to keep an open mind, try everything, and learn from everyone around us. This is the spirit I try to embed in my work. My path led me to Trinity College, in Hartford Connecticut, where I graduated with a B.A. in Studio Arts in 2014.

After graduating and completing a fifth year fellowship program, I moved to Oakland California in 2015.
