Biography

Carl Amoth has always possessed a natural and intense affinity for the creative arts. He started his path as an artist when he was child, expressing his love of nature through drawings and watercolor paintings of birds, plants, and landscapes. As a teenager Carl expanded his subject matter to include historical architecture and churches rendered as detailed pen & ink drawings, which grew into a small business through private and commercial commissioned works.

During this time Amoth purchased a used 35mm camera, which marked the beginning of his journey with the creative potential of this tool—ultimately leading to a full-time focus on creating fine-art landscape photographs. Contrasting his current career as a photographer, Carl began his professional life as a computer software engineer in the early 1980’s. This progressed into a successful career, where Amoth eventually became CIO for two companies.

Although his “day job” gave him satisfaction and paid the bills, it was his love of the creative arts that truly inspired him. Carl realized there was a remarkable opportunity to coalesce his artistic and technical skills and talents into something unique in the world of fine-art photography. This realization served as the catalyst for Carl to exit his career in software technology in order to pursue a career as a full-time artist.

Carl is meticulous in the craft of producing fine art prints—constantly researching and employing the latest technologies, tools and techniques in order to produce art of amazing beauty, quality and integrity.

As an avid student of the natural world and foreign culture, Amoth frequently travels abroad. The span of his excursions includes the beautiful landscapes of North America, South America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Carl is in the process of adding photos from these locations to his Internet-based gallery.

Carl is the loving father of three grown sons. He and his wife, Bev, make their home in the spectacular landscapes of the Southwest and Northwest—living in the Sonoran Desert in Scottsdale, AZ and the Rocky Mountains in Idaho.
