In her own teaching career, Amos has taught at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, since 1980. Since 1987, she has also held a leadership position at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, in Maine.

Amos received a grant in 1983 from the National Endowment of the Arts, and one from the New York Foundation for the Arts in 1989.
