Tavair Dominque is a Baltimore-based multidisciplinary artist whose work spans music, visual art, and literature.
In music, he blends alternative folk with speculative themes. His projects include Phoenix Rising the Space Cowboy, a tribute to Doctor Who, along with tracks dedicated to our universe such as “Nebula Dragon (SH2-114)” and “Black Hole Revelation.” His earlier Sagacious Traveler series imagines conversations with himself across his timelines.
In visual art, his “Star Card” series uses pen and marker to merge cosmic imagery with inner exploration.
In literature, his anthology Meanderings gathers nearly twenty years of poetry that mixes speculative elements with personal reflection. His work has also appeared in the Maryland Bards Poetry Review.
Across these forms, Tavair invites audiences to explore speculative storytelling alongside lived experience.
