David Alexander, (Canadien, né 1947), a commencé sa formation en arts plastiques à l’Université de Notre Dame, (B.F.A. 1978), et l’Université de Saskatchewan, (M.F.A. 1985). Ces recherches dans ce période-là témoignentles premiers pas vers une carrière comme peintre de paysage. Son projet de maîtrise parlait des peintres Monet et Cézanne, révolutionnaires dans la représentation de paysage au 19ième siècle. Ca fait maintenant plus que trente ans que David fait sa vie comme peintre de paysage. Voyageur du monde, ses œuvres sont déjà exposées au Canada, aux États-Unis, et en Europe. Ils sont trouvés dans des nombreuses collections publiques et privés dans ces pays. Les paysages décrits dans ses œuvres témoignent ses aventures aux régions arctiques des Rocheuses, aux rivages du Groenland, aux îles de Baffin et en Islande. Alexander est inspiré par son vécu dans la nature. Il peint ce qu'il voit, touche, et ressent. Voyageant seul, il visite des lieux inédits afin de capturer des images et des idées qui construisent ses toiles plus tard, dès son retour en studio. Ces dernières années, David est retourné pour vivre au Colombie Britannique ou il se dédie à décrire ses montagnes mythiques et forêts anciennes.
