Michael Walsh was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is currently based in Oakland, California. The artist’s utilization of metal fabrication/casting, CAD, Virtual Reality modeling, and 3D printing create a unique approach to sculpture making. Michael has participated in both Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire and Maker Faire Bay Area. In 2015, at the Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire, he and a crew did a live metal casting demonstration, and at Maker Faire Bay Area 2016, his Cosmic Carousel sculpture was a central focus of the event.
