Woodlands Community & Danielle DeRoberts(Onerary) 2022

Boulder Housing Partners: Woodlands  Community Room Interior Mural with Danielle DeRoberts (Onerary)

“Empowering Women Transforms Communities”.

About the Community  

Woodlands is located at 2685 Mapleton in Central Boulder one block from the 28th Street  corridor. This complex offers a unique opportunity for people who want to better themselves  while living in a positive and supportive community. The 35-unit complex operates in  partnership with Boulder County's Family Self-Sufficiency program. This community offers  many advantages to residents, and residents' active participation is encouraged. There is a  Head Start facility on the property that offers Toddler and Preschool classes. The residents are  encouraged to actively participate in the community. Family Self-Sufficiency maintains offices  on site. FSS has helped residents complete advanced job training, graduate from college and  move on to become homeowners. Woodlands has so many single moms trying  to better their lives and their families’ 

This mural was commissioned by Boulder Housing Partners for the Woodlands Community. Artist, Danielle DeRoberts (Onerary), created this interior mural with the intention to inform, as a messenger of emotion, to move into feeling of internal, transformative-- empowerment--- that already exists within-- the feminine nature-- as all you are is NOW - one transformation that continues within to without, without to within, as you shift, so do your surroundings, your communities, + everyone around you.

Design approach- to feel like a magic storybook -my sister and I were raised by a single mother, who’s strength and love outshined from within her Being, she truly embodied this feeling of empowerment. I used a backdrop inspired by a vintage shower curtain from the 1970’s-- that hung in our home my whole youth, up until my mother passed away in 2000.

This curtain became a symbol - an heirloom - I used to see it as the way through, almost like a portal-- with inspiration, magic and mystical energy and I still do. It has been with me this whole journey, as my mothers empowerment became empowerment within me. It is endless and transferred from her to me. Then from me to.

The girl is a symbol of essence - of Source- woven into the environment- who gives back + connects to a natural state of Being - the earth - community - herself- -YOU.

Offering a hand to share this transformation, as it has no limits + continues to expand as long as we tap into it. While letting go of who you were and rising into who you are now. When we empower and support each other as women— this becomes the ultimate way through to transforming communities- we transform together.
