Danielle Rose Byrd is a wood carver and sculptor who blends traditional and modern methods with ample experimentation and a wide range of tools to create pieces with varying degrees of function and heavy doses of texture. Raised in the western foothills of Maine, she made many creatures, structures, and inventions using found items, sand, plants, sticks, trash, snow, and fabric. In college she explored music and sound sculpture, and while building a handmade fiddle-ish instrument constructed from burn pile wood found on campus, began carving scraps into spoons. She has written for various magazines and journals, and from 2014-2017 was a member of the Lie-Nielsen Toolworks Hand Tool Event Staff, traveling the country teaching hand tool woodworking fundamentals. When she isn’t working with wood, she enjoys creating music as one half of Fruity, the small band she formed with another artist. She still imbibes in her childhood penchant to use any available material to build new creations and solve very small problems with funny, complicated and beautiful solutions. Danielle lives and works in Bar Harbor, Maine, with her partner and two undeniably adorable cats, Teddy and Baby.
