These are variations of my original photograph of a little girl running through the Pacoima Gardens. I’ve always enjoyed seeing my work in many forms. Using mediums from wheat pasting large installations, graffiti and paintings. Pushing my own boundaries and breaking rules to create works that I’m passionate about and hopefully you can connect with it too. Thanks to everyone who continues to support my vision. ✌🏽

In this series of paintings, I’ve sought to replicate a single image repeatedly: My original film photograph capturing a little girl running through the Pacoima projects at night. This repetitive artistic endeavor is rooted in a concept that deeply resonates with a nostalgic moment from childhood.
Each iteration of the painting aims to not only mirror the physical action but also to amplify and explore the emotional depth and timeless feeling of joy and freedom associated with that memory. Through the repetitive portrayal of this scene, I invite the viewer to delve into the layers of nostalgia, each image transfer on the canvas offering a slightly different shade and placement of the same memory.

The first piece I made from this series was this 60 x 40 orange piece back in 2020. Although I been toying with this food stamp idea since 2018, I held back for whatever reason until the pandemic hit. I believe for a lot of us the pandemic made us realize that life is too short to hold back.
