Work in progress by Amy Guidry; 20″w x 10″h; (c) Amy Guidry 2013

I’ve been diligently working on a new painting for my In Our Veins series.  This is the initial sketch on canvas, consisting of basic outlines.  I’ve already started applying paint and will be posting it here as soon as it is finished.  I’m still trying to settle between two titles.  It is 20″ wide by 10″ high.  View the series online here: www.amyguidry.com/wild_west.html.

I’m currently showing on the West Coast and the East Coast, and happy to say that my next exhibit will be local (in Lafayette, Louisiana).  The Acadiana Center for the Arts is presenting an exhibition of narrative art titled 1000 Words in which I have been invited to participate.  The exhibit will be held in the Main Gallery starting May 11th through July 13th.  The opening reception will be held on May 11th from 6-9pm, in conjunction with the Second Saturday Artwalk.

Visual News: Amy Guidry Explores the Psychology of Life and Death

My work was recently featured on the Visual News.  Managing editor Benjamin Starr writes, “The recent collection of paintings from Louisiana based artist Amy Guidry brings the surreal so certainly into existence it seems to easily step off the canvas into reality.”  I also had the opportunity to answer a few questions about my series.  You can read the feature online here: Visualnews.com/2013/04/09/amy-guidry-explores-the-psychology-of-life-and-death/#more-81985.

“Systems” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 6″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2013

My painting Systems from the In Our Veins series has recently found a new home.  It is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ x 6.”  I had posted a progress shot of this piece awhile back showing where I had left off with it.  I put this one on hiatus for over 2 years before revisiting it and finally completing it.  Sometimes it just takes a step back to suddenly see everything clearly.  View the finished painting online here: www.amyguidry.com/systems.html.

IPaintMyMind feature: Amy Guidry

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/.
