Danny Romero
1954-2018
Danny Romero was of both Yaqui and Spanish heritage, and grew up in Douglas, Arizona. He worked with stone and silver for over 20 years creating jewelry and paintings from his home in New Mexico.
"I like Edward S. Curtis photographs," he said, referring to the famous turn-of-the century photographer and enthographer who documented more than 80 Native American tribes. "I go through magazines. I've done drawings and I paint."
He was one of five silversmiths invited to the Night of the First Americans at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and had showings of his jewelry in galleries and museums in many parts of the country as well as in Germany, Japan, and Canada. Danny received wide acclaim in the 1970's-80's for both his traditional turquoise jewelry as well as his inlay jewelry.
