Bathsheba Grossman (1966- ) is an artist in Santa Cruz, California who creates sculptures using CAD (computer-aided design) and three-dimensional modeling, with metal printing technology to produce a stainless steel / bronze sculpture. Her bronze sculptures are primarily mathematical in nature, often depicting intricate patterns or mathematical oddities.

Originally trained as a mathematician (B.A. from Yale), she did post-graduate work in sculpture (M.F.A. from Penn), then worked for years as, among other things, a programmer for a number of mathematicians, physicists, and biologists; an adjunct professor of computer graphics and interactive multimedia at Pratt Institute; a laboratory assistant at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory; and a database programmer. Now she's emerged with a collection of intricate, thought-provoking sculptures, puzzles and designs created by laser etching.
