Natasha Rose Wheat (born October 25, 1981) is an interdisciplinary artist who lives[citation needed] and works in the United States.[1]

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[citation needed] at a factory[citation needed] where the people with disabilities were working.[citation needed] Wheat's longtime boyfriend is artist Jim Fairchild.[5]
