About

Dominique Merven is an Australian artist living and working on Cammeraygal land (Sydney), engaged with drawing and painting to explore ideas of nostalgia, dreams and memory.

She holds a Master of Art majoring in Drawing from UNSW Art & Design, and has spent time in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel / historic Palestine, where she was selected to join Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design's MFA program for one semester.

Over time, she began exploring ways to take her artwork beyond the page and into everyday life. This led to the creation of a collection of wearable art, where original drawings and paintings find a second life on clothing. Each design begins as an entirely hand-drawn artwork, created using a mix of drawing and painting techniques, before being translated onto a garment. The result is a collection of colourful, individual pieces that bring art into everyday life.

Prog rock, dusky skies, weird dreams and exotic places are all things that inspire her.
