Memories of nature have left an indelible mark on Taiko Chandler’s identity, one which is reflected in her delicate, undulating abstractions.

Chandler’s work is born of the natural world’s influence on memory and emotion. Her organic compositions are not literal representations of plants and rivers, but instead represent emotions interpreted through form and color, each alluding to the powerful presence of nature in her life. From the lush forests and cascading streams of the artist’s native Nagano, Japan, to her father’s garden and her mother’s ikebana, this landscape of memory and feeling embodies the tangled, flowing beauty of nature.

Based in Denver, she works primarily in printmaking and site-specific installation art. Her work has been exhibited in Colorado, Texas and New Mexico, as well as at numerous print fairs throughout the U.S. Her work is in private and public collections in the U.S. and Japan, including the Denver Art Museum, University of Colorado Denver Business School, Cleveland Clinic Art Program (Ohio), and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York).

Undergraduate students of AANHPI heritage are encouraged to apply for 8 to 10 weeks interning at a federal agency in Washington D.C. during the summer and/or placements in the U.S. Congress, nonprofits and think tanks. Applications must be submitted by Friday, January 14, 2022 at 5pm ET.
