SKETCHES

An impressionistic landscape painting of a small rocky island covered with windswept evergreens and arbutus trees, surrounded by calm coastal water. Sunlight illuminates the foliage and pale tree trunks, while the island’s rocky shoreline is reflected in the water below. Broad, expressive brushstrokes in blues, greens, pinks, and warm earth tones create shimmering reflections across the water’s surface. Dark hills frame the background beneath a sky of soft blue and pink clouds, suggesting late afternoon or evening light. An artist’s signature by fine artist Dominique Walker appears in the lower right corner.
An expressive portrait painting by artist Dominique Walker of a young child seated on the ground holding a black-and-white cat. The child is shown in profile, with light hair painted in loose, luminous brushstrokes against a soft blue and white background. The cat stretches across the child’s lap and arms, its dark body contrasting sharply with the lighter surroundings. Warm pinks, peaches, and browns model the child’s face and limbs, while broad, gestural brushwork leaves parts of the composition unfinished and painterly. The simple background and close composition focus attention on the quiet interaction between child and animal.
An impressionistic landscape painting of a rugged coastal cliff topped with windswept evergreen trees. The rocky outcrop rises diagonally through the composition, rendered in deep purples, blues, and greens, while the trees bend and twist against an expansive sky filled with soft cream, pink, and pale blue tones. Bold contrasts between the dark cliff and the luminous sky emphasize the dramatic shapes of the trees and rock face. Loose, expressive brushstrokes convey the force of coastal weather and the resilience of the vegetation clinging to the cliffside. The artist’s signature by fine artist dominique walker appears in the lower right corner.
An expressive floral painting featuring a field of pink wildflowers rising above tall green foliage. Loose, painterly brushstrokes in soft pinks, whites, greens, and blues create a sense of movement, with blossoms scattered throughout the composition against a pale blue sky. The flowers vary in focus, with some blooms sharply defined and others dissolving into abstract shapes and layers of colour. Darker green forms in the foreground contrast with the light-filled upper half of the painting, giving the impression of sunlight filtering through a summer meadow. The textured surface and fluid blending of colours emphasize the atmosphere and spontaneity of the scene.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I paint to capture disappearing moments.

The last rays of sunlight dancing across the pacific. The play of shadows across a trail. The hunch of small shoulders as feet meet a cool rush of river. The familiar weight of a toddler on a mother’s hip and the absentminded comfort they find leaning into her. Children moving through nature like murmuring starlings—echoing the shapes and energy of each other and the landscape around them.

These moments carry a quiet, luminous, intimacy; an energy that shifts almost as soon as it is felt. It is capturing this fleetingness that draws me back to the studio again and again.

BIO

Dominique is a West Coast oil painter inspired by the untamed beauty of her North Shore home where she continually explores forests, mountains, and shoreline landscapes. She studied at Capilano University’s IDEA School of Design and, after several years working professionally as a designer, returned to teach in the same program. She now splits her time teaching and painting out of her Lynn Valley home studio.

A fourth-generation artist, Dominique comes from a lineage of female figurative and landscape painters known as the Everard Group, whose work is held in private collections worldwide and in national galleries of South Africa. Building on this legacy, Dominique’s own award winning work is represented in corporate and private collections internationally.

She is currently represented by Adele Campbell Gallery in Whistler and The Curated home in Calgary.
