Annalee Davis (b. 1963, Saint Michael, Barbados) is a visual artist, writer, educator, and cultural instigator whose hybrid practice engages with biography, history, and ecology through drawing, installation, video, and land-based intervention. Her work explores the ongoing legacy of plantation economies in the Caribbean and the ways these histories continue to shape contemporary landscapes, identities, and cultural memory. Davis’s studio is located on a former 17th-century sugarcane plantation, now a working dairy farm, where she activates the land as both a site of research and a collaborator in rethinking historical narratives.
She received a BFA from the Maryland Institute, College of Art, and an MFA from Rutgers University. In 2011 she founded Fresh Milk, a cultural platform and residency program in Barbados supporting emerging Caribbean artists. She is also co-founder of Caribbean Linked and Tilting Axis, networks for regional and diasporic artistic exchange. Between 2016 and 2018, she served as Caribbean Arts Manager with the British Council and has taught at the Barbados Community College.
