Lisa Chandler is a New Zealand artist whose large-scale paintings, works on paper and exhibition projects explore how people and places are transformed by the forces of history, environment and social change. Working across painting, printmaking and collage, she creates layered narratives that examine memory, belonging and the traces people leave behind, drawing on themes of loss, hope and resilience.

Chandler has exhibited widely in New Zealand and internationally, with residencies in Singapore, Beijing and Leipzig informing her practice. Her major projects include The Dividing Line, Landscapes of Loss and What Remains which explore personal, community and environmental loss. Her current project, The Tide, is a collaboration with writer Helen E. Crampton examining relationships between people, places and changing coastal environments.
