Domonique Angelia King grew up in sunny San Diego, CA. Deemed one of the most beautiful cities in America. With its diverse cultural make up, it’s no wonder she’s been inspired to create art in a unique way. At an early age Domonique was exposed to all art forms from her family, which eventually led her to enroll in a performing arts school where she majored in Music Instrumentation and Theory. Yet, many genres of art were available and explored which has led to her mastery of fiber art.

“My art has many names but I prefer to call it Yarn Art. I love to use yarn because of its thick and bold presence. Usually with a limited color pallet, it pushes my creativity to achieve my goal. Using nails and wood as the base to signify the rough, hard and cold existence in the Black community, yet the softness, bright colors and flow of the yarn signify the resilience and beauty that comes from such a base. I also use paint, fabric, felt and other materials to achieve the desired outcome. Ive been an artist of various mediums for many years and this has definitely been one Ive invested my time to master for a full decade. In the words of the illustrious Bill Watterson, “My work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.””
