In 2013, Wise began a collection of sculptures featuring different kinds of bread adorned with designer labels modeled after various It bags. Wise's first gallery show with Almine Rech, Of false beaches and butter money, in Paris, France in 2017. Two more exhibitions with Almine Rech took place in 2019, Lineup in New York and Not That We Don’t in London. In 2019, designer Simon Porte Jacquemus worked with Wise to illustrate the designer's Spring 2019 campaign. Wise's first institutional exhibition was in 2019 at Herning Museum of Contemporary Art, Denmark, titled And Everything Was True. For the 2021 exhibition, Thank You For The Nice Fire, at Almine Rech Gallery, a reference to a scene in Don DeLillo's White Noise. The exhibition featured paintings of friends, like model and photographer Richie Shazam, as well as trompe-l'oeil chandeliers and sconces that looked like romaine lettuce covered in caesar dressing. Wise also had work at Fantasy America at The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. == Themes ==

Wise often critiques consumer culture, commercialization, ideas of wellness, and the self-construction of identity with a balance of comedy and sincere optimism. Wise employs comedic and satirical strategies while using references to art history, such as the pronkstillevens that inspired sculptures in her exhibition Of false beaches and butter money. Through this manner, Wise "teases out conventions, but by implicating herself in the joke." == Solo exhibitions==
