 Born
in Staten Island in 1933, P. Buckley Moss (Pat)
graduated in 1955 from The Cooper Union, the prestigious
New York college for the Arts and the Sciences.
Pat's artistic style is unique, and she is perhaps
best known for her "Valley style" watercolors
of the Amish and Mennonites and tranquil landscapes.
The mother of four daughters and two sons, Pat has
received numerous honors and awards including a
major exhibition of her paintings and etchings in
the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum, honorary doctorates
and degrees from universities and colleges, and
her appointment as a Cultural Laureate of the Commonwealth
of Virginia.
Her success is recognized as an example of a triumph
over the handicap of dyslexia. Unable to read to
any degree of proficiency (she read her first complete
novel at age 58), she has used her art from an early
age as the means of communicating her love of children
and family.
Pat's experience of being dyslexic has made her
an ardent advocate for children with special needs.
The P. Buckley Moss Society, with its fifteen thousand
members comprised of collectors of Pat's paintings
and prints, and The P. Buckley Moss Foundation for
Children's Education are two organizations which,
together with Pat, work on behalf of children.
