ABOUT THE ARTIST
Dr Lisa Chandler is an artist who has lived on the Sunshine Coast for many years. She holds a Diploma of Art from Alexander Mackie C.A.E. (now UNSW Art and Design), Sydney; a Master of Letters (Visual Art) from University of New England, Armidale; and a PhD in art history and curatorship from ANU, Canberra. She has held multiple group and solo exhibitions in Queensland and interstate. Here work is represented in public and private collections and she has been awarded commendations and art prizes, including from acclaimed Australian artist Sir Lloyd Rees.
Lisa’s creative practice focuses on the natural environment and is informed by time spent walking, sensing and observing the natural world. She employs vivid colour and gestural marks to capture the language of her surrounds. Her current works are inspired by the wallum heathland. Through these paintings she seeks to convey a sense of the landscape as dynamic living Country, infused with memory and presence, and animated with a pulsing life force.
