Artist Bio: Patricia Buckley Moss was born in 1933 in the Richmond Borough of New York City and was the second of three children of an Irish American/Sicilian marriage. In grade school, she was perceived as a poor student, a circumstance probably attributable to dyslexia which is a generally misunderstood reading and perceptional "disorder". Nonetheless, one of her teachers determined that this little girl who was "Not Proficient In Anything" was artistically gifted. This outside opinion helped to convince Pat’s mother to enroll her daughter in a public school for girls in downtown Manhattan: the Washington Irving High School for the Fine Arts. It was there, in what obviously was a friendly learning environment, that Pat’s artistic abilities were finally encouraged and seriously nourished. he devotes a great deal of her time and effort to helping others through her P. Buckley Moss Foundation for Children’s Education, devoted to promoting the use of art in the classroom, especially as a means to teach children with learning differences. In 1989 the P. Buckley Moss Museum opened in Waynesboro, Virginia. Its stated purpose is to permanently record and illuminate the Moss phenomenon through educational exhibitions, lectures, permanent collections and archival files.
