    P
    atricia (Pat) Buckley Moss, also known as
    P. Buckley Moss
    , is an American artist. She was born on May 20, 1933, in Richmond County (Staten Island Borough) of New York City. Raised on Staten Island, she was the second of three children of an Irish American-Sicilian marriage.
    She lives in Radford, Virginia.
    Patricia Moss appreciated the rural scenery and 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. In 1967 she had a one-person museum exhibition that promptly sold out, after which Moss started to market her work more seriously. Her work subsequently received acclaim.
    Moss has become a strong advocate for special education groups. Overcoming her own challenges with dyslexia, Pat has become a role model for the learning impaired and has shared her message with special education classes throughout the United States. Events and donations of Moss’ original works and prints to related children’s charities have raised millions of dollars for their causes.
    In addition to her work with special education, P. Buckley Moss has continued to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. A breast cancer survivor herself, Moss continues to donate art and hand painted quilts to benefit organizations that offer support to breast cancer patients.
    Moss was referred to in 1988 as "The People's Artist."
    Today, artwork that Moss signs as
    P. Buckley Moss
    is represented in galleries.
