As a lawyer, Phillip Amos also enjoys painting. In his spare time, he can often be found sketching and painting the great outdoors from southern Arizona to the Canadian Rockies, California coast to the Rocky Mountains. His love of traditional landscape paintings inspires him in these areas where one may travel for miles without seeing man's influence on nature.
