I am Christine Joy Amagan Ferrer (most people know me as ‘Tine’), the creator, author and design of The Divine. I am a pinay multidisciplinary creative from San Francisco of Tagalog, Ilokano and Bisayan known roots. I am a cultural movement youth arts educator and dance artist by day, and a designer and media producer by night. I am inspired by folklore, spirituality and cultural movement storytelling.
I’ve been studying and practicing Haitian, Brazilian and Philippine folkloric dance for a little more than a decade. Over the years, I’ve traveled on a few cultural immersions to Haiti and the Philippines to expand my spiritual and cultural growth. And my connections to all these cultures -- through spirituality, dance, music and song -- have deeply shaped my life, carried me through my struggles, taught me to root myself in joy, brought me healing, connected me to my ancestors, and to the God within and the God without. Each day, I learn more and more. And for that, I am incredibly grateful. “The Divine” coloring book is my offering.
