Poppy Chancellor

Born in London to actress Anna Chancellor and poet Jock Scot, she was raised in a bohemian environment. Her early artistic tendencies were evident in childhood, nurtured by her family's unconventional lifestyle. Chancellor studied illustration at Kingston University and furthered her education at the Royal Drawing School. Known for her distinct style, she gained recognition for her contributions to the art community, including work with notable organisations and participation in various cultural events. Chancellor authored Cut it Out! in 2016, a book on papercut art. She also founded Griefcase, a support group for bereavement, and launched the Dead Parent Club podcast, reflecting her commitment to community support. Her personal life was marked by health challenges, including lupus and acute myeloid leukemia. Chancellor died at the age of 35 and is survived by her husband Jonny Mckenzie-Wynne, her mother, and her half-sister Tara Scott.
