Amy Guidry

I am a Louisiana-based artist and currently reside in Lafayette. I grew up near New Orleans and attended Loyola University New Orleans, earning my BA in Visual Art. I have exhibited my work nationally at venues such as the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, the Acadiana Center for the Arts, and the Alexandria Museum of Art.

My work stems from two loves- Psychology and Art. With Surrealism being the grand marriage of the two, I was naturally drawn to every aspect behind the movement. Using images conceived from dreams and free association that I catalog in several sketchbooks, I stitch together whole series from countless thumbnail sketches. Themes I explore involve the human psyche- who we are and how we interact with each other, including our relationship with other animals and the natural world.
