Natalie Jo Wright has been best known locally for her large-scale animal paintings on display on the east side for many years. During Covid her work took an inward and more personal approach, and now Four Eyed Cats in Mid Century Spaces looks to bring a little levity to her art. Having grown up inside her family furniture store in the 1980s, Wright spent hours pouring through design books. When her mother told her that she still had these books- Wright, inspired once again by the books, her two Persian cats as her muses- Four Eyed Cats in MidCentury Spaces was born. There are nuggets of past work within the paintings and with the generous help of local entrepreneur Peter Robertson, this installation will include multiples of one-of-a-kind hand painted four eyed cat figurines. Wright will not just be hanging art on the walls, but will be installing a small scene to mimic the paintings.
