Contemporary Wall Relief  and  Sculpture  

Michael Baird was born in Invercargill, New Zealand in 1963 and now lives and works in

the outside Sydney in New South Wales, Australia.

After originally studying Graphic Design at CPIT in Christchurch and freelancing in New

Zealand and London, he arrived in Sydney in 1988 and worked in Glass Decoration for

several years before leaving Australia for further extensive travel eventually returning

again in 1993.  

Michael then began working for a Sydney-based company that specialised in decorative

finishes, murals and 3D works where he formed an interest in sculpture and metal working

and during this time completed courses in Ornamental Ironwork and Welding.

In 1997 he formed his own Decorative Finish and Theming company working on many

projects in Sydney and around Australia, with the highlight being designing and supplying

artworks for all of the public and VIP areas in the Olympic Stadium.

In 2001 Michael formed a partnership making and installing Architectural Sculpture in

Australia and overseas before making a move to the mountains in 2005 to focus on his

own work.

Michaels sculptural works  have been featured in Belle and Vogue Living magazines and are

currently held in private collections in Australia, Dubai, Macau, China, Singapore and

Thailand.
