Barbie The Welder is an American metal sculptor, published author of six books, and an advocate for the skilled trades from Pompano Beach, Florida.
Growing up in a deeply creative home, Barbie’s Mom is a published cartoonist and her Dad a jack of all trades, Barbie was encouraged by both parents to work with her hands and mind to create. Inspired by the movie Cast Away, starring Tom hanks, Barbie attended an adult welding program at Elmira, New York Boces in November 2007 and was hired at Cameron Manufacturing And Design in Horseheads, New York in March 2008 where she learned the art of welding and fabrication from the brilliant craftsman she worked with. Barbie took her fabrication skills home and taught herself how to design and create art in her garage after work at night and on the weekends.
Barbie quit her job she loved to realize her dream and become a full-time artist September 1, 2014.
Because of the influence Bob Ross had on her growing up, Barbie began teaching how to weld art through her KZbin channel in 2015 after not being able to find resources to learn.
Soon after she was invited by a publisher to write a book teaching how to weld art, and How To Weld Horseshoe Art; 30 Projects You Can Easily Weld At Home was born. Barbie went on to write and self publish five more books, How To Weld Scrap Metal Art; 30 Easy Welding Projects You Could Make At Home, How To Weld Silverware Animals Metal Art Welding Projects For Fun and Profit, The Inspiration Blueprint; How To Design and Create Your Inspired Life, Fuck You Fuel; How To Turn Shit Into Sugar, and The Artist Guide To Branding, Marketing and Selling Art Online.
Working with Bogi Latiner for a month in 2017 on Bogi’s Girl Gang Garage all woman’s frame up build of a 57 Chevy pick up later unveiled at Sema became a mentorship for Barbie that continues to help her grow herself and her business. Barbies other inspirations include Indian Larry and Billy Lane both who caught her attention through the TV series biker build off in early 2000. The craftsmanship and creativity of both men spoke to her soul.
Barbie started out riding on the gas tank of her dad‘s Honda motorcycle because she was too little to hold on sitting behind him, so when she was asked by Jesse James Dupree, lead singer of Jackyl, to design and create two sculptures for Harley Davidson she jumped at the chance driving the 24 hours to Sturgis by herself from NY and sculpting HOGs 35th anniversary sculpture live at Sturgis motorcycle rally at the Pappy Hoyle Campground and then she returned home to sculpt Harley Davidson’s 115th anniversary sculpture in her garage which was later presented to Harley Davidson on stage during the Jackyl concert at the 115 anniversary celebration in Milwaukee.
Barbie has welded live at Americade Motorcycle Rally, SEMA show in Vegas for Miller Welders, Harley Davidsons 115th Anniversary, and at shows and events up and down the east coast.
Barbie has designed and created sculptures for Miller Welders, the American Welding Society, Chicago Pneumatic, Carolina Shoe Company, two cities and clients in many countries.

I'm a retired hobby metal art maker. Your skill has inspired me to try something new....Organic. We have a few Roadrunners here and they patrol catching small snakes and geckos. Majestic and awkward at the same time. So in his honor I'm sculpting a Roadrunner. Your video gave my confidence the boost it needed. The basic wire frame completed today. Thank you for sharing your skills. Keep creating and instructing.

Great piece! Must say I won’t be found climbing around on my bench though! Ah youth! (Enjoyed meeting you and your associate at Fabtech 2022 when we were all looking at new possibilities in the Laguna Tools booth. Note to others: The personality on the many videos is exactly what you get when you hear a voice that sounds familiar, turn around and politely say: “Hey, I know who you are!” Barbie lit right up and was very generous with her time. Of course when we are people who both heat and beat and weld metal, her much much better than me, it’s easy.)

[@MyAvitech]

As a fellow metal artist, I must say that is a fantastically beautiful and inspirational piece! That level of detail and the amazing color makes it look alive. It's definitely an absolute head turner. I hope you'd consider doing another video telling us more about it. I'd love to know more about it, like what kind of paint you used, or is it powder coat. If it's spray, the wings a feathers must have been a nightmare to get to all those hidden areas and still get it to look that good. Very Cool, Barbie! Congrats and thanks for sharing.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you so very much for the love! The finish is powder coat, and I was blessed with a guy who really knows what he’s doing. I did it for me. It really seems kind of miraculous, and it all came together so perfectly.

You are immensely inspiring! I've been out of welding almost 2 years, which is 💔 because it's the 1 thing I'm passionate about. But my life was headed in the wrong direction & I had to make a BIG change in order to live. I'm now 14 months clean & love living life again 😏 I've made recovery my job in that 14 months, but I know I'm ready to go back because watching you build that awe inspiring beautiful metal art wells up emotions in me. Because I see myself doing it & 1.5yr ago I didn't see a future for myself, I was suicidal, hospitalized more than once. You've awoken a fire in me. 💪😏 Thank you for being the reason for my motivation.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

I’m so proud of you and happy for you. We’ve walked a similar path. Keep fanning that fire, that’s where the Phoenix came from to begin with! stay in touch and let me know how your journey proceeds. I’m really excited to follow along with you!
