How Building Robots Saved My Life
"Mike Beaudry takes us on his journey from mechanic to professional visual artist. Mike shows us his complete process starting with scrap metal to showcasing his robots at the Winnipeg Fine Art Fair. Mike also opens up about the story of his father and how that tragedy became a turning point in Mike’s life and career.
