Dominique Salm’s animal portraits present a contemporary spin on traditional wildlife painting.  Her remarkably naturalistic watercolor renderings of animal subjects are projected against a stark white background, which not only creates a dramatic graphic image, but conveys her modern aesthetic.  Each watercolor has a snap-shot quality, capturing the personality of each animal and imparting humor, character, and whimsy to many of her pieces. At the same time, the painstaking realism with which her paintings are executed reflects Dominique’s own intense love and respect for animals.

The acclaimed wildlife painter has exhibited her work widely throughout the United Kingdom, including at the prestigious CLA Game Fair and is sought out by international art collectors.  Originally from Jamaica, Dominique was deeply influenced by the community of artists in her close knit neighborhood and developed an interest in wildlife art from an early age.  Dominique Salm holds a degree in illustration from the University of the West of England and currently lives and works in England.
