Inspired by her personal collection of slide film from across Louisiana, Youngblood's life-size paintings draw viewers into a nostalgic world of vivid color and candid moments. Kodachrome, the first affordable color film developed during WWII, serves as the foundation for these works, meant to be projected and now immortalized on canvas.
