“Reawakening” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 8″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2025

Snakes are seen to symbolize many things including death, rebirth, and renewal. Year of the Snake is open now through March 6th at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco, CA. Reawakening is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 8″ high.
Introducing my new painting Counterbalance. Multiple headed animals are present throughout Greek mythology, such as the 9-headed Hydra or 3-headed dog Cerberus. In Slavic mythology, there is the four-headed god of war and divination, Svantevit, while the Hindu god Brahma has four heads as well. Many cultures revere the tiger for symbolizing power, strength, and regality, viewing it as a representation of nature’s awe-inspiring force. Four is the number of order in the universe- the four elements earth, air, fire, and water; the four seasons; the four phases of the Moon. Four’s sacred geometry is a square- sturdy, solid and balanced. Whether representing the challenges and perseverance in life or the duality of existence, multi-headed mythical beings fascinate us across cultures and generations. In Counterbalance, the tiger’s strength and courage balance the labyrinth’s challenge and the complexity of life’s journey. Counterbalance is an acrylic on canvas, 8″ wide by 10″ high, and available on my website here: https://amyguidry.com/gallery/counterbalance/index.html.
Introducing my newest painting Duality, created for Modern Eden Gallery’s Precious Metal exhibition. Duality is a dynamic juxtaposition of the rainbow, a symbol of harmony, and the medieval lion, a symbol sometimes associated with danger or war. In Irish folklore, leprechauns hid gold at the end of the rainbow, but such treasures come at a cost. Which is why I leave it to the viewer to decide, just as it is up to each of us to choose our own path. Precious Metal is open now through April 4th at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco. Duality is an acrylic on canvas, 20″ wide by 10″ high, and available online here: https://www.moderneden.com/collections/precious-metal/products/duality.
“Uprooted” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 10″ x 8″; (c) Amy Guidry 2023
Happy to share two new paintings in the In Our Veins series. First is Uprooted which features an Afghan hound, one of the oldest domestic dog breeds in the world, dating back to 4000 BC, and also the first dog to be cloned. A fun little fact about this piece: the background landscape is inspired by 18th century painter George Stubbs’s The Kongouro from New Holland. Uprooted is an acrylic on canvas, 10″ wide by 8″ high, and you can find it on my website here: https://amyguidry.com/gallery/uprooted/index.html.
Next up is The Committee of Indecision which was created for Modern Eden Gallery’s Harvest exhibition. Harvest explores the symbolism of fruit and vegetables in art. The grapefruit is associated with many meanings, avoidance being one of them. This piece is an acrylic on canvas, 8″ wide by 6″ high, and available through Modern Eden Gallery’s website here: https://www.moderneden.com/collections/all/products/the-committee-of-indecision.

“Omen” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 12″ x 6″; (c) Amy Guidry 2023
Revealing my latest painting Omen. The sketch for this started in 2017 and I opted to do an entirely different painting. I revisited it and made a few changes. Fun fact: polar bears can’t climb trees. They lost that trait since they evolved in the Arctic where there are no trees. Omen is an acrylic on canvas, 12″ wide by 6″ high, and you can view it online here: https://amyguidry.com/omen.html.
“Lumen” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 5″ x 5″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2023
Happy to share my new painting Lumen which features a Calleta silkmoth. Most nocturnally active moths are attracted to light, a phenomenon known as positive phototaxis, but in Lumen, the light comes from the moth, as they represent life in my paintings. Lumen is an acrylic on canvas, 5″ wide by 5″ high, and available at LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans as well as via their website: https://www.lemieuxgalleries.com/art/lumen-by-amy-guidry.

Happy to share my new painting Relic featuring a chambered nautilus, a type of mollusk and distant relative of squid, octopi, and cuttlefish. The nautilus is known as a living fossil as similar animals existed over 500 million years ago, long before dinosaurs. The bubbles (or stars) in this piece are open to interpretation. It’s up to you whether they are bubbles in the sea or stars in the sky. Relic is an acrylic on canvas, 4” wide by 4” high, and you can view it on my website here: https://amyguidry.com/relic.html.
