Alexis David

Alexis David a "self taught artist"" ,was born in December 1984,and is the only daughter of Cheri David ,herself an artist,who worked as a Teacher of Craft, with the Community Development Programmes through out Trinidad and Tobago,and who, hosted the programme "Dateline Craft" with the late Allison Hennessy. Alexis's voyage into the art world began around the tender age f 5 years old,when she began drawing and painting, and her love of art intensified,with the influence of her mother, whom she would see creating great art pieces using materials within their environment.  

She has participated and won many art competitions during her childhood years.At the age of 14,she was taken under the wing of the late Michael V..Ashby, who at the time was the Head of Handicraft at The Community Development in ST.Anns. Having had this experience, she learnt the use of such mediums as clay in all their textures, metal embossing ,wire bending, jewelry making , and worked with other indigenous materials around her, to make memorial works of art.

Currently she is working with sheet metal and forming the most amazing sculpture pieces,from which inspiration is drawn from nature. Alexis's goal as an artist, is to tap into all that nature has to offer, through the use of naturals materials, and create wonderful works of art and push the envelope as much as any artist can.
