Welcome to Byrdcall Studio

Mount Airy Twin Arch Bridge - oil painting

Hi, my name is Melinda Byrd.  Byrdcall Studio became a reality in 1999 when I left my “good-job-with-benefits” to become an artist.   I have two passions in life:  nature and art.  After spending nearly 20 years sharing  my love of nature through local Nature Centers, I have changed gears to the life of an artist where I express my love of nature (and more!) through my art work in many forms.

Being dedicated to living in harmony with the environment, I run my studio in an “earth friendly manner.”  From the supplies I choose, the utility usage, recycling, freecycling, the short commute, and rainbarrel at the gutter, all are part of my mission to maintain a “Green Studio.”

I enjoy working in a wide variety of media.  I make my materials work for me in unconventional ways.  Since I never went to art school, I am not restricted by rules.   I can bring to life for you whatever subject you love – in the form of painted canvas, painted glassware, mailbox, floor covering, custom sign, interior wall mural, or other creative expressions of art.

If you live in or around Maryland, you can make note of the local shows and galleries where my work can be seen.  Most of the images you see here were custom made for other people.  Some items are currently available.  I know that I can create for you art that will make you happy.

Feel free to contact me to ask me anything about my work.  Through my Byrdcall.Etsy.com web site I have items listed that you can buy with a few key strokes and off it goes in the mail to you.

Enjoy browsing!

E-mail me at anytime with questions and ideas. I’ll offer a prompt response with additional ideas, timeframe, and cost estimates. -  Melinda Byrd
