Empowering Women Transforms Communities

Was a true honor to complete this mural for Boulder Housing Partners - through Street Wise Arts

‘Woodlands has so many single moms trying to better their lives and their families’

Concept- My intention for this mural is 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 + 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... + I still do. It has been with me this whole journey, as my mothers empowerment became empowerment within me. It is endless + 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 + support each other as women— this becomes the ultimate way through to transforming communities- we transform together*** — thank you mom for guidance while I paint ❤︎ I love you —eternally- we are always together**
