Welcome! my name is Dominique Ramsey and I am an award-winning Illustrator from the United States who enjoys drawing whimsical things.
I have always been drawn to drawing animals and telling stories with them. Finding the words to express my feelings is often hard, but animal symbolism helps bridge that gap for me about the meaning of life and spiritual connection.
