Pat Amos is a member of the Mowachaht Band, one of the fourteen member tribes of the Nuu-chah-nulth Nation. Patrick is active in his community, giving carving demonstrations at various schools throughout the Port Alberni, B.C. school district each year.
Since 1991, Patrick has taught a native art class at the Duquaht Art School in Uclulet, B.C.
Patrick Amos has been designing limited edition prints since 1976. In 1979 he began carving wood, apprenticing with Tony Hunt Sr. at the Art of the
Raven Gallery, in Victoria. Pat later apprenticed with Tim Paul at the Royal British Columbia Museum carving shed in Victoria, where he assisted in totem pole projects.
Patrick Amos began selling his work through the Royal British Columbia
Museum shop in Victoria as early as 1976. He had his first solo exhibition in 1991 at the Gallery Indigena in Stratford, Ontario. In 1992, Patrick was invited to show his work at an exhibit at the Native Heritage Centre in Duncan, B.C. Several of
Patrick’s paintings and prints are housed in the permanent collection of the Royal British Columbia Museum, Victoria, British Columbia.
Patrick Amos is increasingly being commissioned for larger works and he now takes on apprentices to assist
with these projects. His commissions include a 10 x 30-foot mural for the Mount Klitsa Junior Secondary School, in Port Alberni (1995), a 14-foot totem pole for the Alberni District Secondary School in Port Alberni (1997), an 8 x 20-foot painted mural
for the HA-HO Payuk Elementary School on the Tsahahe reserve in Port Alberni, and a 7-foot totem pole for the Gallery Indigena in Stratford, Ontario. In 1990, Patrick Amos and Tim Paul carved a 36-foot Hesquiaht totem pole for the Maori people of New
Zealand.
