Barbara Amos
Amos is a 1976 University of Waterloo graduate (with Fine Arts electives) with further training from Ontario College of Art, Toronto Artists Workshop, and Alberta College of Art (1977-80). At the core of Amos’ exhibition history are her paintings, which have involved oil on canvas, ink on metal and two-dimensional art glass panels. Her subject matter is eclectic and has ranged from still life, mountain landscape, urban environments and more abstract imagery. As genres, they are sometimes manipulated, fragmented or subjected to processes that heighten or challenge perception as in her series: Remixes, Landscapes Meltdown and Landscapes Rearranged.
