Artist’s Statement

Gera Scott Chandler has been an artist for as long as she can remember. After a rewarding teaching career, she decided to rediscover her own creative processes and began studies in ceramics at Emily Carr College of Art and Design. Her formal studies paused when she had her children but the internet gave her a chance to branch out to other mediums and to meet other artists both online and at conferences and workshops in Canada and the United States. These explorations led her to experiment with polymer clay which has proven to be the perfect foundation medium for her approach. Each of Gera's creations have stories to tell of imaginary worlds and engaging characters and celebrate the beauty, colour and texture of the West Coast environment. 

Gera's studio is located in Victoria, B.C. Her work is in collections across Canada, the U.S., Europe and Japan and has been used in motion picture set design. She is a member of the Crafts Association of British Columbia, the Island Artisans' Association, the Oak Bay Community Artists and several online Polymer Clay Groups. She is a founding member of the Vancouver Island Polymer Clay Artists' Guild.
