Walsh spent her childhood in Detroit and her teens in Kentucky. She studied painting and sculpture at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. In 1999 she moved to Las Vegas where she worked as a food stylist. Five years later, after serving on the board of the Contemporary Art Center, she opened a gallery in the Arts Factory. The gallery, Trifecta, closed in January 2015. In Las Vegas she is best known as a gallery manager and arts advocate but she was also a painter who organized her practice around the realistic depiction of inanimate objects. “I edit what I consider the unimportant and enhance what is left, resulting in how the ordinary can be a vivid and remarkable tool if you take the time to look,” she wrote. The series of kitchen appliance works that includes Juicit was exhibited in 2004 under the title Whirr Buzz and Presto!: Appliances from the Atomic Age. “Marty Walsh's Atomic Age Appliances are painted in the 18th century style, with a dark background going to infinity: a link with the past., wrote Susan Andrews Grace in an essay that accompanied the show. “They put the 20th century appliance in the foreground, each in all its insouciance.”
