quotes

“More than any art I have seen, Chandler captures the combined feelings of alienation, privacy and self-protection we bring when encountering mass crowd situations . . . ”
Gail Tresidder, April 2012

“Paintings by Lisa Chandler were a favourite of mine, as they brought attention to the chaotic atmosphere of human existence, yet showed appreciation in the serenity of space”
Sin-Mae Chung of ‘Mccaulay+Maestro’, January 2012

“There was many interesting entries in the landscape section, and this section had the overall highest standard in our opinion. Lisa Chandler’s winning painting really captures the feeling of the New Zealand alpine environment. The painterly nature of the image evokes a mountain tarn very effectively”
Judges: Susan Creedy – Artist, Julie Catchpole – The Suter, and Ronnette Pickering, NMIT, 2007
