About Pablo DominguezBorn and raised in Michigan in 1961, Pablo began drawing
at the age of 4. His early influence was his father, Pablo Sr., an accomplished
oil painter. In grade school Pablo amused classmates with drawings
of dinosaurs, comic heroes, and other assorted characters. Many
hours were spent exploring and working outdoors while visiting relatives
in rural Mexico, and thus began his fascination with nature. The artist
summarizes his respect for the natural world by stating "I am continually
amazed at the beauty, design, and purpose that God has put into his creation
of nature and wildlife. Travels across the U.S. always include visits to National and state parks, wildlife refuge areas, and large and small zoos, allowing for many hours of observation, sketching, and photographing of wildlife and landscape. He and his wife Charlene do volunteer work with a local animal rescue, and he values his association with caring members of wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centers in his home state. Pablo's artwork continues to be accepted into many juried shows and fine art exhibits regionally, where he has collected a respectable number of awards, and the year 2004 will see the first solo exhibit of his work at the respected Starkweather gallery in Romeo. The artist and his wife Charlene share their home with their 2 labrador retrievers and 4 cats. |
