In the 1920's, he continued his studies at the Santa Barbara School of Arts under Colin Campbell Cooper and Carl Oscar Borg.
Over the course of a long career, Dominique exhibited widely and with success and was the recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards. He was a member of several notable artist organizations and associations including the California Art Club, the California Watercolor Society, the Laguna Beach Artists Association, Los Angeles Artists Association and the Oakland Art League. He exhibited widely and with success including at the Los Angeles Free Lance Art League (1923-25); the Santa Barbara Art Club (1924), Oakland Art Gallery (1928, 1932, 1941), the Portland Museum (1936), the Oregon State Fair (1936-41, prizes), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (1944), Glendale Artists Association (1950, prize), Pasadena Art Museum (1961), Frye Museum (1962), Ventura Artists Association (1964) and the California Watercolor Society (1969).
