Expect the Unexpected – Walter Bishop – Fringe Art

Close Up – Detail

Fringe is currently running its fifth and final season. My husband Clark and I just began the series a few weeks ago and we’re hooked! I asked the question on Twitter “OK #fringefans, I am just starting to watch #fringe, what should I expect?” and the most common reply I got was “Expect the unexpected!”. That is SO true! My absolute favorite character on the show, who always makes me laugh is Walter Bishop. He is so funny, he is so weird and bizarre. I want to know him personally! I would LOVE to know a ‘crazy’ guy like him who is smart, loves his sweets, gets uber excited over the smallest of discoveries. I love his character! So, for all you fellow Fringe fans, this painting is for you. It’s my interpretation of the Fringe character, Walter Bishop in all his silly-smart glory.

About the Artist

I am an advocate first, and an artist second. My paintings create visual comfort-- spaces where grief, hope, and healing can live together without apology...

I paint what matters most: the people you cherish, the moments that shaped you, the feelings that need witness. Through art, your most precious memories move outside of you and into your home, where they can be held, seen, and never forgotten.

My work is rooted in three commitments: honoring the experiences of indigenous communities and the history of the land we inhabit; creating safe space for children and women whose voices have been silenced; and recording the honest truth of lived experience-- both my own and that of those who came before me. I believe art has the power to tell stories that words alone cannot, and to preserve what must not be lost or forgotten. I believe that all that we know about ourselves is because Art has preserved those stories throughout history, outliving those who created it.

When you encounter my work, I hope you find yourself in it-- not as escape, but as recognition. I hope it reminds you that your feelings matter, that your story deserves to be held, and that compassion and truth are still worth carrying forward.

Art is the voice that speaks honestly through the heart. 💝🪷
