Born in Canon City, Colorado, Amick studied at Yale and practiced law before becoming an artist. He took private lessons, studied at the Art Students League, and illustrated for Harpers, Scribner's, The American, and other publications. Amick’s Western scenes were reproduced as prints for public schools. He spent much of his career living at Greenwich, Connecticut, where he helped found the Art Society of Greenwich in 1927.
