John Eric Byers
John Eric Byers creates geometrically inspired pieces that are minimal, emotional, and modernly refined. Producing his uniquely original works for over three decades, John’s individually hand-made work is guided by purity in form, surface texture, structure, and respect for use of materials.
Heralded as a leading American artist working in wood, permanent collections include the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Arts and Design in NYC.
Numerous awards include a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, New York Foundation of the Arts Awards, and inclusion in the Smithsonian's Oral Archives of American Arts.
