Patrick Amos
1957 -
Patrick Amos was born in 1957 on Nootka Island located on the west coast of Vancouver Island into the Mowachaht Band, one of the fourteen tribes of the Nuu-chah-nulth Nation. In 1979 he began carving wood, apprenticing with Tony Hunt Sr. at the Art of the Raven Gallery, in Victoria. Later, he apprenticed with Tim Paul at the Royal British Columbia Museum carving shed in Victoria, where he assisted in totem pole projects, and the museum has several of Amos’s paintings and limited edition prints in their permanent collection. Amos sold his work through the Royal British Columbia Museum shop in Victoria as early as 1976. In 1990 Amos and Tim Paul carved a 36' Hesquiaht totem pole for the Maori people of New Zealand. Amos had his first solo exhibition in 1991 at the Gallery Indigena in Stratford, Ontario. In 1992 Amos was invited to show his work at the Native Heritage Center in Duncan, BC. Amos’s work has been steadily shown at Images for a Canadian Heritage, Douglas Reynolds Gallery and the Gallery of Tribal Arts in Vancouver. Amos’s commissioned works include a 10' x 30' mural for the Mount Klitsa Junior Secondary School in Port Alberni, BC (1995), a 14' totem pole for the Alberni District Secondary School in Port Alberni (1997), an 8' x 20' painted mural for the Ha-Ho-Payuk Elementary School on the Tsahahe reserve in Port Alberni and a 7' totem pole for the Gallery Indigena in Stratford, Ontario. Since 1991 Amos has taught a native art class at the Duquaht Art School in Uclulet, BC.
