BAP Quarterly

"Symbiotic" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 11"w x 14"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2011

So excited- I came across some good news just after it was announced (apparently I was on the web at the right time…). I have been selected as one of the artists to be featured in the Brooklyn Art Project’s BAP Quarterly #1. This is their first full-color publication and will be out this summer. Featured on the left is one of my paintings to be included- “Symbiotic.” “The Wild West” has been selected as well, so my excitement is doubled. The publication was guest-curated by Samantha Levin (Anagnorisis Fine Arts, Curator for White Rabbit, NYC).  100 artists have been selected, including some of my personal faves- Carrie Ann Baade and Caitlin Hackett.

For more information and a list of the 100 artists to be featured, visit http://blog.brooklynartproject.com/2011/05/100-artists-selected-for-brooklyn-art-project-quarterly-1/. And to view more of my own work, visit my website at www.AmyGuidry.com.

Someone recently asked if I ever post photos of my work in progress. Technically yes, but it’s usually just a snippet of a painting. So I dug through some photos for this “photo diary” post of sorts since I actually documented my work on “Untitled.” So here goes:
