Inspired by joy sparked by water, corals, rocks, animals, and color; I translate my experiences through my artwork. So much of who I am is shaped by my experiences: I am a traveler, teacher, artist, and environmentalist, and I am honored to share my artistic journey with you.

About Dominique

My philosophy involves creating works that express a spiritual nature.

I am inspired by meditation, contemplation, luminescence, transformation, and love for nature, travel, and the environment.

In my work, I strive to create a new awareness and hope for our environment, as well as an awakening to the love of God and the light within ourselves.

I graduated from Pepperdine University in ‘09 with a BA in Studio Art, and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Claremont Graduate University (‘13) in Studio Art. I live and work in Bend, Oregon.
