Mary Chandler Obituary, Death – Mary Voelz Chandler was an important figure in Colorado’s modern art community, and our hearts are broken to read of her untimely passing. Hers was a voice that will be sorely missed. Mary’s comprehensive coverage of art and architecture, with dedicated attention paid to Denver’s artists, museums, and galleries, has provided an essential and nurturing component to the vitality of Colorado’s visual arts culture ever since she began writing for the Rocky Mountain News in the year 1990.
This coverage has been ongoing ever since. Robischon Gallery owes a portion of its long presence in Denver to those exceptional art writers such as Chandler, whose keen perception and careful guardianship of the creative community enhanced the public’s knowledge and experience of art.

We owe Mary an enormous debt of gratitude for the commitment she has shown, and we will miss her presence very much.
