Poppy Chancellor
Poppy Chancellor is a London based illustrator specialising in papercutting. Poppy grew up with a father who she adored, but was an addict and complete free-spirit. Just over 3 years ago, her father lost his two year battle to cancer. Poppy coped by staying in denial about his death until early this year when her grief finally overwhelmed her, and she had to confront his loss. She realised she needed to speak out about how she was feeling, and so decided to start Griefcase, a monthly meet up in London where anyone can come and talk, write or express all things grief. Poppy's story is hilarious, heart-warming and, as always, deeply inspiring.
