Renowned artist P. Buckley Moss has created a new painting titled “Guardians of Life”, which will be released as a limited edition giclée on paper during Apple Barn II’s “Show Without Moss” June 11-12 in Troutville.
Ms. Moss created the painting and print edition to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of The Carilion Clinic Life-Guard.
Show hours will be 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. on Saturday, June 11, and 12 noon to 5 P.M. on Sunday, June 12. Ms. Moss will personalize and sign all prints purchased during those two days, even though she will not be present.
“Guardians of Life” will also be available for purchase during the The Carilion Clinic Life-Guard 35th Anniversary Expo that will be held from 11 A.M. to 3 P.M. on Saturday, June 11, at the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport in Roanoke, Virginia.
Even though she will not be present at the Expo, Ms. Moss will personalize and sign all of the prints purchased during this event, if so requested through the representatives who will be selling the prints during the event.
Pat Moss is well-known throughout the country for her portrayals of the Amish and for her tranquil landscapes. “I love traveling and meeting so many interesting people who truly care about others,” says Ms. Moss. “I feel like I have a vast network of extended family. I try to focus my art on the positive elements of life, and I find so much inspiration in the wonderful people I meet.”
Moss has achieved unprecedented success in the art world and has been giving back a measure of that success to the community for close to three decades. Donations of Pat’s artwork have raised more than $4 million for worthy charitable organizations across the country. In this endeavor, she is helped by the P. Buckley Moss Society, a group of more than 8,000 collector-members.
She has also established the P. Buckley Moss Foundation for Children’s Education, which promotes the use of art in the school curriculum as an aid to reaching out to children with learning differences. Ms. Moss is dyslexic and grew up at a time when little was understood of this learning difficulty. Having achieved success in spite of (or, as she says, because of) her personal challenges, she is passionate to help reach children in similar circumstances today.
