Chandler C Wilson is a contemporary painter and international muralist living and working in Oklahoma City. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Arts in Arts in 2015. Chandler creates vibrant, colorful abstracts which are inspired from earth formations and erosion. Chandler narrows down a millennia of erosion and imagines what a slowed down moment would look like. Chandler is an active member of the Oklahoma City art community serving in Art Group leadership since 2018.
“My inspiration comes from the forces that cause erosion. I imagine what that process may look like abstracted and frozen in time.”
