About the Artist
Originally from N.Y. and San Francisco, CA- Danielle DeRoberts (Onerary) is a full time artist and collaborator :: painting, drawing, printmaking, textiles, fashion, mural art, graphic design + art installation. Danielle has been a resident of Colorado since 2012, currently living in Denver, Colorado.
Danielle’s unique technique of embroidering into her paintings, back lighting and expanding them onto walls, creates textured pieces that spring to life--- transforming the two-dimensional paintings into three-dimensional mural installations. You may even hear a song or two infused within quotes, as they are symphonized throughout the pieces. From painting on fabric to painting on walls, Danielle challenges herself to explore different mediums to mimic a similar effect, which provides her with a sense of balance within painting tools. Metaphorically, this becomes freeing in the moment and leading to new discoveries of who the artist is and unbecoming.
Through her art, Danielle desires to create a space where the audience feels welcome to be completely themselves. Her paintings are dreamlike vessels of activation for her to communicate, and encourage others to step into their power. She hopes her own creative expression will inspire the viewer to connect with their own soul voice.
Honoring Soul as the invisible divine essence of the individual, of which the body, mind and intellect are the instruments for action in the world....
~~~ Soul Love
