Louise Guidry
Artist Biography & Statement Louise Guidry was born in Ville Platte, Louisiana, a very small southern town, Louise didn't have any formal art training as a child, but her mother was a seamstress, and Louise was intrigued by the scraps of fabric and threads that her mother would discard and she would play with them. For Louise, this was her first attempt at creativity during childhood. It wasn't until Louise and her family moved to St. Martinville during high school that she started studying art independently, and later on at the age of thirty she began to paint in earnest. Louise married, had children and was very occupied with family life and an elementary school teaching career, but once her children were grown up she went to study at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette at age 54 and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the age of 58. Louise has been making artwork ever since and now her paintings are accepted around the world. |

Bonnie Camos
Biography Bonnie Camos was born in (Clonfert) County Roscommon, Ireland and currently resides in Lafayette, Louisiana since 1957. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Arts: Painting at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Bonnie began making artwork at the age of four and having ten siblings in her family, there was not shortage of subject matter to draw form. Her interest in mixed media work using oils, encaustic, paper making, acrylics, and found objects arose of years of experimentation. The spontaneity of the wax medium combined with the richness of the colors became a primary force in the creation of the artist latest work. Artist Statement The inspiration for my work is based on color and the impact it has on human emotion. Using the mediums of encaustic, oil pigment in beeswax and resin with heat, I explore the possibility of color relationships. By reducing the figure or face to the most simplistic shapes representing a universal "picture" of a man. I mean to suggest the connection we all have to each other through our life experiences and the emotions elicited from these experiences. |
