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 UA-cam 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 like it a lot. I may have missed how you did the finish, but the copper patina is amazing.
Good start on the abstract sculpture, I always enjoy seeing a creative person expanding their horizons.
Just how I would have done it< Great Job!
I live in Brazil. and I really like your work, they are very creative.
Congratulations.
TOTALLY NAILED IT !!!!
Hits the design to a tee Barbie !!!
Excellent 1st piece of 'ABSTRACT" .......
Music rocked perfectly to the build in time shift !!!!

BarbieTheWelder
Hey Barbie I am digging that welding square you are using in the build. Did you make it or is it a kit?
"Wait Barbie that's not a cube!"
"That's where the abstrakie comes in." Quote of the day Love it!
You were certainly getting a lot of practice getting those welds flush.
Lots of angles and turns. I know that's not easy.
This turned out great. You should do more of these.
Great job!
Totally rocked that project! As always, Great job!!! 😘👍😁👌
Amazing and very inspiring! Love your work an your fresh style!
Thank you kindly 🥰
Beautiful very nice .
That's a great piece of work!
Thank you kindly!!😊💙👩🏭
That is a lot of work there! Good job!
Thank you kindly!😊
Great Job Barbie!!!!!!
Thank you kindly!!😊💙👩🏭
Subscribed! Your hands grow up from the right place!
Cool build.
I am not a big art fan, much less abstract art, but this piece I love. I only found you because of the podcast with welding tricks and tips and I am so glad I did, as a fellow hunter it is hard for me to decide which I like more, this or the european mount you did. Awesome work, glad you found your niche!
I agree on the abstract stuff, hated it all my life! I now found a style that Im in love with and could happily make abstract like this the rest of my life! Weird right!! I greatly appreciate your support!
Amazing! Lots of efort and argon! 👍
Thank you kindly!💙👩🏭
Brilliant. I love it, especially the paint finish.
Amazing piece of art, nice work.
Nice work Barbie! Your getting me inspired to pick up my welder again.
Very Cool!
Wow, you just made me a fan of "abstract art". Looks beautiful, cool and really interesting! So glad i got to meet you at fabtech. You are gifted!
Thank you!!😊💙👩🏭
Bad ass
That's pretty cool lady, not much on abstract myself. But you rocked it!
Glad I found this channel very informative and useful. With respect to sheet metal art, Mitchell Dillman has a great 4 video set on the technique.
Thank you I’ll check it out!!!
Lots of hours and several clothing changes later.....:-)
Scaled up it looks like it could be a seat. Like a throne. Well done.
thank you kindly! Ive always wanted ti make a throne!
cool "cube", nice job.
Thank you kindly!!😊💙👩🏭
SWEET.....!!!
I like the direction you're going in, Barbie. Super job on your "cube" and I'd love to know how you applied the "copperish" patina. That really adds to your sculpture - sort of gives it a kick. You just gave me all kinds of ideas to try for some upcoming shows. Thanks!
LOVE IT
Thank you kindly!
you are amazing!!!!! love it, n you.
Very nice!!!!
I wasn’t feeling it at first but now it flows,a shrink would say the artist was ez going and forward!
REALLY nice work - shows what planning and patience can do, if you add a good portion of talent! I've used that secret finish myself for many years. Can I give a hint to your followers?...the magic low cost ingredients needed are at the farmer's supply and at the auto parts store. You did a great job, Miss Barbie!
That I didn’t know!!!
Ohhhh...then I guess it is safe to say the formula I use is copper sulphate crystals mixed with sulphuric acid and water (sometimes called "blue stone" - to keep algae and bad bugs out of farm ponds - and "battery acid," respectively). You must be very careful with the acid of course (protect yourself and shoo children and pets away!), but you pour a couple ounces into a pint of water (NEVER pour water into the acid - splash can hurt!) and mix-in a half handful of the blue crystals so they dissolve. I am sure the formula is very technical, but it must be forgiving because I don't measure anything. Experiment. Anyway, no electricity etc - just paint it onto the dry clean steel and instantly get the copper plating. Gently rinse off the piece with fine spray of water from a garden hose, let it air dry or pat it dry because the copper is thin and fragile at this this stage, and then either clear coat it or put in an ammonia "cloud" environment (like a covered trash can with a soaked cloth) to get a teal green patina. Very easy and VERY CHEAP stuff, but don't toss away the leftover solution where it could hurt an animal or anyone or anything metallic. Store it or Dilute it and discard of it safely. That said, I am sure there are many other ways.
Man, I don't get abstract art, but this piece (cover your eyes) is bad ass for sure. Love it. It would make a great water fall piece. I could see it and hear it. Thanks for the video. Much respect. I know this is a 2017 video, but I wanted to comment anyway. Peace.
Lol I always thought abstract art was people phoning it in and wasn’t a fan until I saw a sculpture by Albert Paley and Jesse James at Fabtech two years back. I came home and researched abstract and found a sculptor Johnathan Prince who made these amazing abstract sculptures that I loved and I made my own mini version of what I saw him creating. This is the only abstract I’ve ever done and will ever do, but now I have a much greater respect for it!! Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate you!
I wouldn't of thought to make a frame to support the sheet metal ....very nice ....:) ....
NICE!
I like it!
Thank you!!😊💙👩🏭
Beautyfull! Emagine, if you put some blueburnt copperwire in the waterfall, that would look like falling water..
Ditto on what you used for the finish. Beautiful as you.
Love it.
Joe from Detroit
Awesome thank you
Yea, what every one else is sayin, Great job!
But please, could you just briefly explain the finish? Outstanding!
It’s a copper patina that’s a chemical process that turns the steel to a copper color.
Please tell us more about that finish! Beautiful work 🔥👍🏼🔥
It’s magic!😉💙👩🏭
Sure looks it! Absolutely lovely. I'd say your first plunge into the world of abstract was a screaming success! 🔥👍🏼🔥
I have been on your Instagram for a minute now and I just now saw you're on YT... You Rock ... Many Blessings , SMR
I like the square you used - any chance on your next video you can discuss how you made it ? and the metal grinding tools and pads you use on your welds ?
Superformiweldegeindefantacolosachtig !!!!! (Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)
Ever considered using like a 317 stainless filler wire to get like a rainbow coloring in the welds ? Maybe not on this particular piece but on another project . Just an idea from one welder to another . Like your work 👍
can i ask how you got that copper coloured finish, was it some oxidising soloution like copper sulphate? but then what to protect?
The copper color simian is a finish called copper patina by Sculpt Nuevo
beatifullllllll
Excellent. A new dimension to your work. A channel you might find interesting in this regard is Kevin Caron. He is an artist in Arizona. Thanks for the mic by the way. It helps some of us immensely.
Hi Jake!
Hi Kevin. I could never recommend your channel enough. You offer so much and Barbie has a great deal of natural talent. Thanks
Goog on: Jean Tinguely (images), and you will see what is abstract art made by the king, Jean Tinguely. He died in 1991 at 66 but is art is still here. Ho yes and, good job Barbie, kisses.
Thank you kindly!! I’ll look it up! 😊💙👩🏭
Ho no, Tank you to you, to share all that with us! You deserve what you have now. You impress me a lot, and it seems not only me. You are an inspiration. What courageous woman. Ready to work hard, BRAVO Barbara! Much more balls that so many men! Continue to create abstract art, go deeply in your heart, in your mind, You got something. All the best for the futur, Kisses! PS: (Jean Tinguely's work could just give you more ideas, inspiration...)
😊
Wow, beautiful, and I really love the finish .. How many hours do you have in the project ? I think I would have lost patience with all the cuts and fitting. You rock girl !
I lose track of hours, I worked on it for about a month on and off, my uneducated guess is over 50
Hi Barbie, I really like your videos - thanks for posting them. You've just made me realise that I too am an abstract artist. Whenever I try to weld a cube, I get so much heat distortion in it, it ends up looking like an abstract design 😝😜. Is the copper finish a type of paint? Your philosophy on your work is very thought provoking. Thanks for sharing. Good luck and have fun. Mike in the UK.
now it's time for you to tackle "kinetic sculptures"...and tell me how you did it, i can't figure them out properly...love your stuff
I’m going to tackle kinetic sculptures if by kinetic sculptures you mean rat rods!😉💙👩🏭
BarbieTheWelder lol...you don't want to do "wind go spinny" ones?
Is the Finnish paint or die, were did you get it? The Finnish makes the piece.
You have upped ante, mig welder to tig welder.
🤘🏻☺️
How did you "paint" it? Was it powder-coated, or spray painted? The piece is beautiful.
Metal finish that makes it look copper
Love to watch you work. Noticed you were tacking the pieces on with TIG. Being pretty new with TIG I tend to melt everything. About how many amps are you running to keep it so nice?
Depends on the thickness of the material.
I'm curious as to why you didn't MIG most of it. Is it a "just because" factor or were you worried about warpage?
I can dial my MIG down to weld 22 gauge if needed but wanted this to be tig so I had less cleanup.
Hi what plasma cutter do u use Great work
Mine is a Harbor Freight, been using it just about five years now!
Have a subscriber meet up and call it burning woman.
You’re a genius!💙👩🏭
Is it copper plated?
Nope it’s steel with a magical finish!😉💙👩🏭
Looks like galvanized plated) You are using your inverter for this technic?
It’s not plating of any kind, it’s spray on chemicals.
please be more specific. it looks awesome
Thanks for answer! i using something similar in my stained glass works, for lead patina finish)
I`ll give you a welding hand Barbie :-) ..Did i just say that.. i`m up to my neck, in overtime, after work, but i like it! I am so lucky to work in a scrapyard for steel, and metals. ooohh my god, you cant imagine how much good stuff, that comes in every day.. havent got anymore room under working-table :-D Please, try to Google: lene.kilde She is a very promising Norwegian skulptur artist, who comes in our scrapyard, to by material, for her sculptures, she makes some very unik arts! Keep posting! ;-)
I can make it myself. Just got instructions from woodprix website and I'm ready for do it :D
Too bad I can only give 1 like :(
You’re so sweet! Thank you kindly!💙👩🏭
BarbieTheWelder thank you! Ciao!! :)
I don't like it + I do like the craftsmanship = good job.
Your other sculptures are great abstracts this a great non objective piece
