Amore’s sculpture has evolved from its origins in carved forms to complex installations involving text, photo processes, stone, and various media. Reflection on the human condition, time, and journey form the basis of Amore’s work. Both the sculptures and writing explore memory and the relationship between human perception and history. Her six room exhibit, Life line, at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum is now published as a bi-lingual, illustrated book.
Amore is Founder of the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center, recipient of Fulbright and Mellon Fellowships, Mass Cultural Council grants and a Merit award from the Vermont Arts Council. She has executed major public art commissions around the US and in Japan. Teaching includes the Boston Museum School and the Vermont College MFA program. She is a member of SOHO 20 Gallery in New York and is deeply involved in her own creative process and sharing that with others through special projects, exhibits and readings.
