Biography
Meet Oliver Dominguez – a true artist at heart! Oliver's love for illustration started at a young age, earning him the nickname "the artist boy" for never being seen without his trusty portfolio. He's dedicated to perfecting his craft, attending The Illustration Academy twice while also studying at Ringling College of Art + Design. Today, he's a highly respected Children's Book Artist, freelance illustrator, and professor at Ringling College. Oliver's passion for history has led him to create wonderful children's books, like "Ellen Takes Flight: The Life of Astronaut Ellen Ochoa," "Electrical Wizard: How Nikola Tesla Lit the World," "Miracle Mud: Lena Blackburne and The Secret Mud that Changed Baseball," and "Nacho’s Nachos," among others. He lives in Fort Myers with his family and their 2 adorable dogs, Cooper and Ryder. Oliver is not just an amazing artist, but also a big reader, movie buff, and creator of unique hats. He's truly a one-of-a-kind artist and educator, with unmatched creativity and dedication to his craft.
