[June 07, 2013]  Lincoln native David Alexander, a stained-glass artist, has been accepted as a juried artist by the Illinois Artisans. This designation allows selected Illinois artists to display their work at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield, at the James R. Thompson Center in Chicago and at the Southern Illinois Art and Artisan Center at Rend Lake.

A portion of Alexander's collection continues to be on display in the office of Coldwell Banker Cornerstone in the Regions Bank building, where David and his wife, Sonnie, own and manage the real estate business. The public is invited to come to the office to see the collection. A collection of some of the glass is hanging in windows at the real estate office and in the bank lobby.

Each of Alexander's creations starts with his original drawing, and each is therefore unique. With fine art as the goal, he takes glass to extreme limits of size and production difficulty. The result is compositions in glass not previously seen.

Alexander has a degree in architecture from the University of Illinois, with minors in art and math.
