DANI RUTH ROMERO
As you already know, my name is Dani Ruth Romero.
I grew up in the good ‘ol southwest city of Tucson, Arizona. Some of the greatest things I enjoy include riding my clunky beach cruiser, swimming, walking on the beach with my pups, and cooking meals for husband David, a.k.a an amazing man who truly knows how to enjoy life to the fullest. He sure does know how to get me out of my comfort zone!
As a kid, I would spend hours by myself drawing my own characters and creating stories. It was my dream to one day become a children’s book illustrator. Sadly, my creative dream shriveled away as I grew up and became entangled in trying to “live up” to the world’s standards. I threw away any and all God-given desires out the door. Little did I know, God was up to something; weaving things back together for my greater good.
2014 marked the beginning of a pivotal healing journey for me, and was the year I truly surrendered my heart and lifestyle to the Lord. Little did I know, he Had so much in store on this journey! He rekindled my creative gift during the process of healing, and started leading me to places I’d never dream for my life.
I’d like to say I’ve developed an adventurous Spirit in my mid twenties, and am not afraid to venture to the other side of the world alone. The more I have allowed God to lead me to new places and spaces, the more I’ve discovered who He has created me to be.
I’d classify my artwork to be a type that is colorfully playful, eclectic, and non-traditional. Each creation is equipped with a story, and conveys messages of life and healing. It’s been exhilarating to see how my art has evolved over the last 8 years (see here), seeing the life and color God has revived within me.
Upon following God’s invitation to pack up my things in Arizona and move to Nashville, I wasn’t expecting the restoration of my childhood dream. My creative inspiration subtly transformed into a whimsical, child-like style…The joyous fruit reflecting a season of further healing with Him.
Since I have embarked on this creative journey with my king, I am only seeing more each day that he is the Father of every good and perfect gift, and the true restorer of dreams.
His joy alone is my strength. (Nehemiah 8:10)
