Oakland, California native, Byron Wilson was a mostly self-taught metalsmith who began creating sculpture and jewelry in the 1940s. He belonged to the San Francisco Metal Art's guild along with Margaret De Patta and Peter Macchiarini. By the 1950s, Wilson had become a significant influence in the California studio jewelry movement and began to receive awards at numerous exhibitions and fairs throughout the United States.
In 1956 Wilson was hired to teach metalsmithing at the California College of Arts & Crafts where he created a metal sculpture foundry for the casting of large metal sculptures.
