UK-based Jamaican artist, Dominique Salm , will be the featured artist in "United in Art" – an Exhibition of Fine Art from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland to be held at the Agora Gallery.

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 London. 

She has exhibited her work widely throughout the United Kingdom, including at the prestigious CLA Game Fair and is sought out by international art collectors.

Salm’s animal portraits present a contemporary spin on traditional wildlife painting. She uses watercolours to produce remarkable naturalistic renderings of animal subjects and projects them against a stark white background.  Her style creates a dramatic graphic image and conveys her modern aesthetic. Each watercolor has a snap-shot quality, capturing the personality of each animal and imparting humour, 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 exhibition runs from June 3, 2008 through to June 24, 2008.
