Lisa Chandler is a New Zealand artist whose work explores the connections between people, place and history. Working between figuration and abstraction, she creates layered narratives that reflect on memory, transformation and belonging, examining what is lost, what endures, and how communities respond to change.
Chandler's recent exhibition projects include What Remains, Landscapes of Loss and The Dividing Line, presented in public art galleries throughout New Zealand.
