I am not really an art expert but I do enjoy certain people’s work greatly, and she is one of them. Growing up in America, and in somewhat of a rural setting, I have a great appreciation for old world farm type styling. I feel like it is Americas Zen and Taoist equivalent as it is very simple yet evokes a lot from that simplicity. I really love this work! Thanks for posting this.

Pam: I’m really not sure. You could try contacting her web site (www.pbuckleymoss.com/contact.html).

My mother gave me a P.B.M. print many years ago. I don’t care for it – just not my style. Any ideas how to learn it’s value? She’s visiting my home town in Indiana this weekend. Small town = big event.

I have family in Waynesboro & Staunton (& live in VA), & when I was wee, I used to love going to the P. Buckley Moss Museum. I wasn’t exposed to very much “Folk Art,” or the like when I was young, & I always thought that her stuff was so strange & fascinating. Apparently, her artwork makes a pretty seamless transition to needlework – & is popular to boot. I’ve seen needlepoints taken from her work that have been more expensive than the prints.

Shout-out to the Shenandoah Valley here!!! I had no idea so many Mental Flossers lived here. I’m in Staunton, that “next town over,” but I’d suggest Mrs. Rowe’s instead, which was featured in Michael and Jane Stern’s “Road Food.” After art and food, you can come to the world’s only re-creation of Shakespeare’s Blackfriars Playhouse and take in some Bard. The Valley kicks ass!

I live in Waynesboro as well! I have loved P. Buckley Moss since I was a child and she visited my elementary school where she picked me out of the assembly and sketched a portrait of me. It is to this day, one of my favorite possessions and one of my favorite memories.

I grew up in Waynesboro (see above comment). To me, P. Buckley Moss is so cliche…but she did incredibly well for herself, so…props to her.

I live in Waynesboro, VA (home of the P.Buckley Moss Museum) and if you’d like a homey meal and to look at some prints of her work before or after going to the museum, I would recommend Kathy’s in Staunton (the next town over). It really completes the experience!
