Emma Amos is one of America's most versatile and recognizable artists. She has been exhibiting since 1960 when she had her first solo (one person) exhibition in her native Atlanta, Georgia. That same year she moved to New York were she became the first and only female member of Spiral (a group of Black artists including Romare Bearden, Hale Woodfuff, Norman Lewis and Charles Alston). Amos received a B.A. degree in 1958 from Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio; a B.F.A. degree in 1959 in England at the London Central School; and an M.A. degree in 1966 from New York University on New York City. She retired in 2008 after 28 years as a professor at Rutgers University. She continues to exhibit regularly including her latest NY solo at Flomenhaft Gallery in 2008.
