Natasha Wheat is an interdisciplinary artist who lives and works in the United States.[1]
Her works have been described as situational constructions,[2] often transforming her audience into co-participants in the work.[3]
She is the founder of Portland, Oregon based arts and urban farming project, Project Grow, an arts atelier for people with disabilities at the site of a factory.[4] It began in 2008 as an intervention into sweatshop type labor at a factory where the people with disabilities were working. Wheat's longtime boyfriend is artist Jim Fairchild.[5]
