Artistic Moods

Artistic Moods Artist feature Amy Guidry

My work has recently been featured on Artistic Moods.  Many thanks to Sandra Apperloo for the feature which includes many of my paintings from over the years.  She writes, “A glimpse at the surreal paintings of Louisiana-based artist Amy Guidry is likely make you stare at them for a long time. Using acrylic on canvas, Amy challenges subjects such as life, death, individualism and exploitation in beautiful works that easily leaves the viewer curious for more.”  View the feature online here: www.artisticmoods.com/amy-guidry/.
