We were lucky to catch up with Dominique Turner Rambo recently and have shared our conversation below.

Dominique , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?

I couldn’t imagine doing anything else outside of being an artist/creative. When I attempted to, God revealed to me that I should take the narrow path.

As a creative, you become a storyteller—whether through paint, sound, fabric, movement, or words. You give voice to emotions that people don’t always know how to express. You build bridges between cultures, eras, and souls. You challenge norms, break rules, and invite people to see life from a different lens. And most beautifully, you create meaning in a world that often moves too fast to notice the details.

I really love what I do, and because I am living in my purpose, I have been allowed to bless others.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My name is Dominique Turner Rambo, and my artist’s name is Rambo. and I’ve been immersed in the arts since I was six years old. What started as a creative outlet has evolved into a full-time passion and profession. I’ve been showing art since 2015 and creating art professionally since 2019, and over the years, I’ve expanded my creative footprint—most recently with the launch of my one-of-a-kind hat collection, which merges fine art with fashion to create wearable, timeless pieces.

In addition to being an artist, I serve as an Art and Project Coordinator under FGIII Fine Art Productions, a well-established art advisory team. Since 2019, I’ve helped coordinate a wide range of projects that include art curation, art handling, delivery, and installation. My role has allowed me to support other artists while also shaping the visual and cultural landscape of the DFW area.

Through FGIII, we’ve spent the last two decades building a strong foundation in the fine art industry, curating high-quality exhibitions and advising on art projects for both residential and commercial spaces. We represent emerging, mid-career, and established artists, helping to bridge the gap between creative talent and the community.

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with major brands and institutions like Goorin Bros., Jack Daniels, Dallas College, Newport, Canvas Hotel, AT&T Discovery District, Frame Bridge, The Other Art Fair, and many others. These collaborations reflect both the versatility and authenticity of my work.

What sets me apart is my ability to make art that’s both personal and universal. I specialize in creating tangible, lasting pieces that resonate on an emotional level—whether it’s through visual art, fashion, or curated experiences. I bring ideas to life in a way that feels grounded yet imaginative, and I always aim to leave a lasting impression.

What I’m most proud of is my commitment to creative evolution, constantly growing as both an artist and a community collaborator. I want people to know that everything I create is intentional. Whether it’s a canvas, a hat, or shoes, there’s a story, a purpose, and a piece of me in it. My mission is to continue making work that inspires, connects, and stands the test of time.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

A lesson I had to unlearn was the belief that simply signing up for local art shows would automatically give me the right exposure. Early in my creative journey, I assumed that just showing up and putting my work out there would lead to the right opportunities. But over time, I realized that not every space or audience was aligned with my vision or the uniqueness of what I create. I had to step back and really assess where my work resonates most. That meant being more intentional—finding the right communities, environments, and events that truly connected with my artistic voice. It wasn’t just about being seen—it was about being seen by the right people.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

For me, the most rewarding part of being an artist is knowing that I’m creating timeless work—art that can live far beyond me. There’s something powerful about being able to take an idea from my mind and bring it to life in a tangible form. Whether it’s a piece that moves someone emotionally or simply inspires thought, the fact that my creativity can leave a lasting impact is what drives me. I’m constantly reminded that I’m not just making art—I’m making legacy.
