Windjammer Gallery this week, it will contain what gallery owner Susan Curtis believes is "the most exciting group of paintings (she) has done''.

"They show real growth and strength, and also a change in subject matter,'' she enthuses.

The exhibition marks the sixth time Mrs. Amos has been invited to hold a one-woman show at the popular King & Reid Streets gallery.

Graduating in 1965 from the St. Martin's School of Art in London with a National Diploma in Design (Painting Special), Mrs. Amos then obtained her Art Teacher's Diploma at the Hornsey College of Art, also in London. Later, she spent summers at the Instituto Allende in Mexico where she graduated cum laude with a Master of Fine Arts degree.

A former art lecturer at the Bermuda College, Mrs. Amos is one of the Island's best-known artists, whose versatility has recently included computer painting.

Her work is said to evoke the atmosphere and love of her Island home, while her use of colour and compositional strength give her paintings a contemporary yet timeless quality.

The painter's works have been exhibited in London, Jamaica, Mexico and the United States, as well as locally, and are included in many private and corporate collections, both here and abroad. Her painting, Morning Sunlight, was awarded the Grumbacher Award in 1982.

Mrs. Amos is married to wildlife artist Eric Amos, and their only daughter Mrs. Stacey Amos Holden is also an artist.

Passages will open to the public on November 5 and continue through November 20.
