“Fortune or Fame is a portrait of a good friend who was at a cross roads in his young life. He was making the decision to either stay in a comfortable environment or choose the more difficult, uncertain path to follow his heart and his calling.” - Natalie Wiseman
Natalie creates colorful contemporary still-life and figurative paintings that represent trains of thought, or streams of consciousness, rather than focusing on a single, precise message. Her bright palette and realistic style set the tone for humorous, tongue-in-cheek games of connect-the-dots and hide-and-seek. Using figures, food, toys, and elements of popular culture, she excavates secret cultural codes buried in language and experience. A lover of imperfections, detail, and bad puns, Natalie has built a playful collection of wordplay and “household debris” waiting for the right connections. She embraces the challenges and rewards of realism in crafting narrative images that are both recognizable and relatable, yet open to interpretation—even after the punchline.
