P Buckley Moss
P. Buckley Moss (born May 20,
1933), is an American artist. Reared in
Staten Island, New York, she is known for her portrayals of rural
landscapes and life in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. She attended
Washington Irving High School for the Fine Arts in Manhattan. She had
dyslexia and struggled with some of her classes in high school, but was
good at art. She received a scholarship to study art at Cooper Union
College.
In 1964, she and her family moved to Waynesboro, Virginia, in the
Shenandoah Valley. Appreciating the rural scenery, Patricia Moss began
portraying it in her art. She was particularly drawn to the Amish and
Mennonite people who farmed in the countryside and has portrayed their
figures in iconic ways. Selling out a one-person museum exhibition in
1967, Moss started to market her work more seriously. Her unique style,
marked by her subtle stylings and the calm nature of her work,
alongside the warmth emanating from her subject matter quickly won her
widespread acclaim.
Referred to as "The People's Artist," by journalist Charles
Kuralt, Moss opened the P. Buckley Moss Museum in Waynesboro. Since opening in 1989, the facility has grown to
attract roughly 45,000 visitors annually. Kuralt's moniker is often
used in the museum's marketing as in her artwork. Today, artwork that
signs as P. Buckley Moss is represented in more than 200 galleries
worldwide and collected throughout Europe and Japan, as well as the
United States.
