Another painting from my In Our Veins series has recently found a new home. My painting Anthropomorphism is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ x 6,” and one of the most recent paintings from the series.

The exhibit is open now through July 13th.
The 1000 Words exhibition opened at the Acadiana Center for the Arts last Saturday night. The opening was held in conjunction with the Second Saturday Artwalk in Lafayette, Louisiana. I have a few photos from the opening- more are posted on my website at this direct link: www.amyguidry.com/events.html.

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.
