Early life[]

She grew up in Slidell, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. She attended Loyola University of New Orleans where she received her bachelor's degree in Visual Arts in 1998.[1] She was also awarded the Loyola University Art Scholarship, which is only awarded to one student per graduating class.[2]

Career[]

Guidry's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums nationwide including the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey,[1] the Alexandria Museum of Art, the Morehead State University Claypool-Young Art Gallery,[3] Aljira a Center for Contemporary Art,[4] the Acadiana Center for the Arts[5] as well as Brandeis University[6] and the Paul & Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum.[7]

Her work is present in private and public collections including the Zigler Art Museum in Jennings, LA;[8] the City of Slidell;[9] and the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art in Cedar Rapids, IA. Guidry's paintings have been featured in publications such as Professional Artist,[10] Studio Visit, and Adbusters.[11] Her work has also been featured on MTV's The Real World, Season 20: Hollywood.[1]

Guy Sangster Adams, editor of the UK publication Plectrum- The Cultural Pick, wrote, “Forget mere high definition, the exceptionality of Amy Guidry’s mix of photorealism and surrealism, creates a fantastic heightened definition that presents a hyperreality that forces one to address and, with hope, redress our reality.”[12]
