Spaulding was the fifth of seven children. He attended Indianapolis Public Schools 24 and 26 and Arsenal Technical High School. He was a self-taught welder. Spaulding worked part-time on his art, while working as a metal-joining specialist in the aerospace industry in California in the 1960s.

Spaulding's work is internationally recognized, with pieces on display in several countries including Brazil, Japan, France, and England.

The artist died on July 10, 2004, in Phoenix, Arizona. (en)
