Body painting like you’ve never seen before
AN ARTIST is travelling America body painting people to blend into the background. The results, and her message is beautiful.
A talented body painter is travelling across America merging members of the public into beautiful backgrounds.
Natalie Fletcher’s ‘100 Bodies Across America’ project sees painted individuals blended into the likes of tourist hot spots, forests and ruins.
For each work Natalie travels to a certain spot in the country before selecting volunteers — not models — who she then paints.
So far Natalie, 29, has created works in front of the likes of the Welcome to Las Vegas sign and Superstition Mountains in Arizona.
Each work takes her between 45 minutes and three hours to complete.
Creative Natalie, from Bend in Oregon, USA, hopes to complete the entire series by September this year.
She said: “I have been preparing for this for three years — it’s my dream project. I’ve been on the road for so long now I no longer know the days of the week.
“The people I have met, painted and just hung out with have been incredible.
“I want to put out a positive message of ‘love your body’ — it’s the only one you are going to get.
“That is why I make people on art: each canvas is unique and beautiful.”
