Artist Bio: David Chalker, a native of Abilene, Texas, discovered his love for photography at the age of 18, inspired by his mother, who was a photographer herself. This early exposure to the art of capturing moments ignited a lifelong passion that has driven him to excel in the field. Over the years, David has developed a unique style that blends technical expertise with an artistic eye, allowing him to produce stunning, evocative images. His dedication to his craft has earned him prestigious recognition, including First Place in the 2022 Texas State Fair Professional Photography for Black and White and First Place in Photography at the 2022 Visual Arts Guild of Frisco Juried Show “Artrageous.” His work reflects a deep commitment to capturing not just scenes, but stories that resonate with viewers.
Though David also pursues a career in real estate, where his keen eye for detail and understanding of visual appeal benefit his clients, his heart remains with photography. His passion for creating art through the lens continues to be his driving force, and he takes pride in building a legacy of impactful work. Whether he’s photographing landscapes, portraits, or real estate, David strives to create images that connect with people on a personal level, ensuring that every shot is meaningful and thoughtfully composed.
VAL Art Talks take place the second Tuesday of each month at the Lewisville Grand Theater.
