Michelle Tappin-Davis is the fourth President of the Women in Art Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago (WIAOTT), an NGO founded in 1996. She is also the Head of Department for Language and Visual and Performing Arts at Hillview College. Although she enjoys experimenting with a variety of media, painting is her forte. Traditionally, her style has been representational and the warm palette of her paintings reflects her Caribbean roots. Most of her pieces include figurative forms as well as visual metaphors, creating subtle narratives. Although she has been exhibiting since 1996, Michelle launched her first solo show, Celebration, in 2011, in which she began to explore conceptual themes in a more Impressionist style. Two of her pieces, Scarborough Sunday Morning and Digging for Sand, Pigeon Point, form part of the National Heritage Collection, Shaw Park Complex, Tobago. She is also working on a group exhibition at the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago entitled Conversations in Colour which opens in April 2022 at the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago.
