This new body of work is a joyous celebration of nature, but it also highlights a serious environmental message: the critical importance of greener and wilder spaces, especially in urban areas.

Chandler’s aim for this exhibition is to encourage visitors to include more ‘green’ in their own spaces to support local plants and wildlife, saying “it’s the small things that count”, and “that action can offer us a sense of hope in these troubling times”. Artworks will explore the tenacity of nature growing in concrete jungles: the cooling effect of shade from trees; nature in small spaces and the importance of wild and diverse spaces.

5% of every 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.
