The P. Buckley Moss Museum, located in Waynesboro, houses the permanent collection of renowned artist,
Patricia Buckley Moss. A retrospective tour of Pat's achievements in her art and life includes early religious art, the Virginia collection and other modernistic styles not commonly associated with Pat's distinctive Valley Style.
Patricia Buckley Moss is the daughter of a Sicilian-born mother and an Irish-American father. She developed her artistic interests at an early age. As a young student, Pat was labeled "un-teachable," only to discover later in life that dyslexia was the cause of her learning difficulties. This discovery inspired her to communicate through her art. Today, Pat continues to paint and uses her images to support many charitable endeavors including that of her own foundation, The P. Buckley Moss Foundation for Children's Education.
