Domenique Serfontein

Her illustrations celebrate the ethereal and whimsical beauty of animals and nature, often weaving them into scenes inspired by Irish landscapes and a gentle sense of nature nostalgia. With a childlike wonder for the natural world at the heart of her work, her illustrations are perfectly suited for picture books and for those who appreciate charming narratives with animal protagonists. Working across a variety of disciplines—from picture books and editorial features to commercial commissions—Domenique has created illustrations for clients including Quarto Publishing, The O'Brien Press, Rizzoli UK, Gill Books and IMAGE magazine, among others. Using a blend of traditional and digital media, her work aims to inspire empathy for the environment and tackle important narratives through a playful and positive lens.
