Robin Walsh, Puppet Artist

...discovered puppets on her first day of college, and has never looked back. She is known for her constant search for puppet zen as well as overcompensating for her diminutive stature by creating dynamic, magical figures of silk.

Highlights include an Emmy nomination, receiving a Jim Henson Foundation Workshop Grant, working with Ray Harryhausen and decapitating the real Rudolph puppet from the Rankin/Bass classic animated holiday special.

She’s also worked for Henson, Disney and the stop-motion company Screen Novelties. Commissions include two Academy Awards shows, the Pacific Symphony, Stanford University’s Orchestra, Skirball Cultural Center, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. She’s also performed at the O’Neill Theatre Center and both the Hollywood and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals. Robin’s television and film work includes Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, The Oscars, Men in Black, Team America, Captain Underpants, Family Guy, Slumberkins, and SpongeBob, among others.
