We're finally on the map Bend! Local body painting artist Natalie Fletcher is the first Skin Wars champion!

On tonight's final episode of the GSN reality show, Fletcher came in first of the three finalists (the others being Dutch Bihary and Shannon Holt) securing a prize of $100,000, a year-long supply of body paint and a featured guest artist slot at body-painting trade show IMATS. Judges RuPaul (OMG YES! That RuPaul!), Rebecca Romijn (OMG Mystique!) and body painting icons Craig Tracy and Robin Slonina awarded Fletcher the prize.

Here is a video of her winning moment from the PACKED Doubletree Hotel #inBend! Natalie is there in the middle with her boyfriend Todd, although you can barely see her through her friends and family celebrating.

The Source Weekly will have a follow up with Fletcher online soon. Congratulations to our favorite local body painter! We can't wait to see what you do next! We can't stop using exclamation points!
