Italian web magazine Picame recently featured my work on their site. Many paintings from my In Our Veins series are featured. Editor Andrea Berretta said of my work (translated from Italian), “Receive submission from the likes of Amy Guidry is one of those satisfactions that you repay all the energy spent each day to do what you do. This young surrealist artist of Louisiana has been featured in several exhibitions in the United States, collecting innumerable awards.” View the feature online here: http://www.picamemag.com/amy-guidry/.

“Wisdom” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 48″w x 36″h; (c) Amy Guidry 2013
You may recall awhile back I posted some exciting news that my painting Wisdom was loaned for the upcoming movie “When Angels Sing.” They’ve recently released a trailer for the film and it is set to come out this Fall! It had a special premiere recently at the SXSW festival last week. The movie stars Harry Connick, Jr., Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson, and Connie Britton, just to name a few.
My work was recently featured on IPaintMyMind. Editor Evan La Ruffa writes, “Regardless of the ethos, which isn’t always as obvious as some onlookers hope for, we find Amy’s work pushes the boundaries of logic in various valuable directions. Art should provoke, and she certainly does.” Read the full review here: http://ipaintmymind.org/art/amy-guidry/.
