Landscapes of Loss was exhibited at Hastings City Art Gallery in 2022. Then at Aratoi Museum of Art and History, Wairarapa in 2023. Its next stop is the Suter Art Gallery in Nelson, late 2025.
Everyone, from all walks of life and across cultures, experiences loss and grief during their lives, whether it’s private and personal loss, within their community, or at a global level.
Right now, we are bombarded with harrowing stories of loss on a daily basis - from Covid-19 to the dire ‘Code Red’ climate change warnings, to poverty and homelessness. The world can feel like an insecure and frightening place, full of challenges which this new body of work, Landscapes of Loss, examines. In particular, Landscapes of Loss explores the dichotomies of isolation and connection. The artworks tell stories of loss and isolation, but also offer hope - portraying how people come together and support each other during difficult times.
"Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things." - Arthur Schopenhauer

Artist Goes Wild, is a direct response to Lisa Chandler’s desire to support the planet in a positive way. In late 2022 Chandler was fortunate to experience the uninhabited Galápagos Islands. At dawn on the final day, she visited one last unspoilt island before flying to Guayaquil, a city of 2.6 million. The dirty brown river, smoky old cars and mountains of plastic rubbish struck Chandler; the pollution was a stark and demoralising contrast to the Galápagos, and irrefutable evidence of humankind’s effect on the planet. As witness to such destruction, she was compelled to make a personal difference.
Shortly after her return, Chandler bought a 7700sqm section in Tasman and began to research how a small plot of land could support wildlife and increase biodiversity. This led her to the 'wilding' or 'naturalistic gardening' movement and the creation of this new series. In Artist Goes Wild, Chandler makes the conscious decision to create artworks that celebrate nature and highlight its uninhibited joy. But the paintings also communicate a message: greener, wilder spaces, especially in urban areas, are of critical importance.
5% of every Artist Goes Wild artwork sold will be donated to the national Trees That Count programme and Chandler’s Artist Goes Wild tree registry will support tree planting projects in her home region of Tasman. You can also support her tree registry without buying an artwork by donating a tree on her online page: $10 will gift one tree. Alongside raising money for local tree planting projects, Chandler’s aim for this exhibition is to encourage visitors to green up their own urban spaces.
Every single one of us has an impact on the planet every single day, and we have to choose what sort of impact we have. Hope isn’t just wishing, it’s doing something about it.

Over the last few years I have realised the importance of works on paper as part of my art practice – how they positively influence and enhance my large-scale paintings. I use works on paper as a way to extend my visual language at the start of a new series – to try out new mark-making, different compositional ideas and colour palettes. Working smaller on paper offers the opportunity to be more experimental – seeing what is successful and what is not before embarking on a large canvas.
While works on paper inform my large-scale paintings, I do not directly copy them, and many end up becoming works of art in their own right, as you’ll see on this page.
If you are interested in purchasing one of these works on paper, please email me.
