Biography Chandler was born in London and studied art at the Hornsey School of Art from where she won a scholarship to the Royal Academy Schools. In 1930 she married Roland Chandler who was an illustrator for The Strand Magazine and who died during World War II. In Sweden she received numerous portrait commissions, often of children but also of members of the Swedish Royal Family, notably of Queen Sylvia.
