Pat Buckley Moss Visits Washington State and Knight Vision's' collectors at the Puyallup Fair!

Dear Friends: My business partner Jake Henderson and I had an exciting time at the Puyallup Fair near Seattle, Washington, this past weekend. It took me several tries before I could pronounce Puyallup correctly: PEW (like something is smelly)-WALLUP (like you’re going to hit someone), but I think I have it right now. Pat with the Board of Directors of the Puyallup Fair. The Board selected Pat to be the Master Artist at the show, an honor for which Pat is very grateful. They put on a terrific show and give a lot of their time to the Western Washington Fair Association’s Scholarship Fund. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from the sale of originals on the second floor of the Pavilion go to the Scholarship Fund. Mr. & Mrs. Harry Shedd purchased the original watercolor Spring Cleaning, shown hanging above Pat’s head. Pictured L to R: Lise Hedegaard, Pat, Maynard Hedegaard, and Amy. Lise and Maynard purchased two of Pats originals! We had no idea what to expect, but we found out that the fair is huge! It’s the sixth largest state fair in the United States, with approximately 1.6 million people attending it during the seventeen days that it’s open. Many thousands of those people visit the art exhibit, and I’m most grateful to Lori Knight of Knight Visions Gallery in Bothell, Washington, and Bob Farrelly of Lakewood Gallery & Framing Company in Lakewood. Bob is in charge of recommending and exhibiting the Master Artist each year. The Master Artist is chosen from among nationally recognized artists, and I am deeply honored to have been chosen this year. Bob & Lori took wonderful care of Jake and me and also my art. It was set up and displayed so beautifully. Bob Farrelly and his partner Cindy Johnson did an outstanding job of taking care of Pat and her art. Pictured L to R: Jake, Cindy Johnson, Bob Farrelly, and Pat. Lori Knight, with Knight Visions Gallery in Bothell, is an authorized Moss dealer and did an excellent job of staffing Pat’s exhibit. Western artist Fred Oldfield is a long-time supporter of the Puyallup Fair. Pat had fun meeting him and discovered that they are kindred spirits. In addition to the art exhibit, there were tons of animals, food, and rides. We saw one ride that catapulted a person up into the air and back down using something like a slingshot and bungee cords—not for me! Naturally, my favorite place was the barns, where I could see the Percherons, Clydesdales, and the 4-H horses. I especially love the Percherons. Everyone knows that Pat loves horses, and Percherons are one of her favorite breeds. Jake is a great traveling companion. We both love seafood, so we really enjoyed the fresh Pacific Coast seafood for dinner every night. We went on sightseeing excursions for a few hours every day. That area has the most gorgeous scenery. We went to different bays and ports each day and saw big ships and graceful sailboats. Jake loves to sail and was in his glory. The vistas are beautiful, too. It is breathtaking to wake up in the morning and see Mt. Rainier rising up out of the fog on the horizon. Pat had nothing but praise for the volunteers who staffed the art show. Pictured L to R: Carolyn, Sandy, Pat, and Elizabeth. We were both delighted to see our friend Laura Bales, who used to work for us at The Moss Portfolio. Laura left us nine years ago to go back to school and eventually moved to Seattle, married, and now has two beautiful little boys. It was fun to have lunch and catch up on one another’s news. Sid and Margaret Wimmer are old friends who stopped by to see Pat. Bob and Nancy Peck have been 4-H leaders for 31 years and are in the Washington State Hall of Fame and were named Clarke County Leaders of the Year! They couldn’t resist a framed print of "Birthplace of the 4-H Emblem". Jake and I took a red-eye flight Sunday night and arrived in Richmond Monday morning. We both agreed that the red-eye is no fun! This week marks the sixth anniversary of the tragedy inflicted on our country on September 11, 2001. How could I ever forget that day? I flew out of Richmond the day before and was in Panama City waiting to fly to Bocas the morning of September 11. I was in my hotel room; and, I could see something horrible happening on the TV, but it was all in Spanish. I thought to myself, I know those buildings; that looks like New York! I asked around until I could find someone who spoke English, and my fears were confirmed. When I think of the lives that were destroyed and impacted by the events of that day, I’m even more grateful to our soldiers who make huge personal sacrifices to keep us safe. God bless America and our troops! Love, Pat

Knight Visions Gallery News Update

Re: A celebration of the art of P. Buckley Moss

P. Buckley Moss was once described in an interview by Charles Kuralt in 1988 as "The People's Artist". Moss has become most noted for her depiction of the Amish and Mennonite lifestyles and her artwork is very symbolic of the imagery of the ethics of hard work, integrity and the love of family and life so reflective of the Amish way of life. Ms. Moss has embraced a way of painting and a way of life that shows the "upside of life" which reflects not only the Amish lifestyle but also Moss's own belief in the positive. In doing so, she is able to communicate through her art to everyone on a very personal level a style defined by symbolism and warmth.

Knight Visions Gallery features an extensive display of Moss's limited editions-both primary and secondary issue- for purchase. During "Shows Without Moss," patrons are able to have their limited edition lithographic art purchases personalized, up to four selected words, even though Ms. Moss will not be present. ( Exclusions are the annual society print, annual Christmas print and free promotional print. ) Knight Visions Gallery has been an authorized P. Buckley Moss dealer since 1991 and there is a broad selection of current and rare print releases. Although the following items cannot be personalized by Moss, they do complete the Moss collection and are available at Knight Visions Gallery: Moss collector plates by Anna- Perenna, limited edition collector ornaments, sculpture, books, totes, pillows, and Moss cross stitch patterns. P. Buckley Moss releases new limited edition lithographs approximately each six weeks. A favorite highlight amongst collectors each year is an annual Christmas print. Please be advised that Knight Visions Gallery does have a limited amount of collector plates that were once produced by Anna Perenna. Moss has just released her first limited edition plate in recent years, entitled Liberty. You will see this image shortly on our Gift items section, and it features the twin towers and the Statue of Liberty. This image is also available in poster format. (See patriotic images, New York poster) Several porcelain gift items have also been produced including crosses. (See gift items, 2002, mother and child cross, St. Francis cross, and Angel cross) Moss collectors are also encouraged to join the P. Buckley Moss Society which enables the member to purchase an annual print not readily available to the public. Upon renewal to the Moss Society, members receive a collectible Moss brooch pin/necklace. Knight Visions Gallery has instant gratification kits to sign up new Moss members to the society on the spot at any time.

During "Shows Without Moss", there are available for those attending the event a special black and white promotional print and an opportunity to meet P. Buckley Moss via a video visit. We realize that everyone has a hectic life and this helps keep everyone in touch with Pat's work. ( Please remember that to view Moss's current releases for ordering from Knight Visions, we are linked to her web page.)

Knight Visions continues their support of the P. Buckley Moss Society:

The P. Buckley Moss Society's mission is to foster the appreciation of the art of P. Buckley Moss while promoting charitable endeavors consistent with her ideals through the use of the arts in special education. Often times, a local chapter is formed from a group of Moss collectors with a common charitable goal in mind to help improve someone else's life! The idea is to keep chapter meetings fun, yet focused, while learning more about Pat's artwork while working toward your shared charitable goal. Many chapters award scholarships, for example, and often raise money for several charities or individuals with specific needs. During our "Shows Without Moss" we hold a raffle of a Moss item and the proceeds benefit a charitable cause which fosters one of the ideals of the Moss Society of linking art with promoting a good cause. There is a lot to be said for that old saying, "You get out of life what you put into it" !!! Junior memberships are now available for our Moss collectors under twelve years old. Ordering procedures for Moss Society prints have changed for 2002 which allows the collector to redeem their redemption vouchers throughout the year after they have renewed their annual Moss membership fee. (Your Members Only print will still match your Moss Society membership number) By lengthening the ordering period to mail in redemption voucher, this new ordering procedure gives the member more flexibility. The old system had all vouchers coming in during one month of the year. Moss Society Member's are encouraged to visit Knight Visions for samples of each new years Member's Only prints or come during a "Show Without Moss" to see them. We also encourage members to mail in their vouchers to Knight Visions Gallery for their Moss Society Member's Only prints as we are an an authorized redemption center and we know how the traffic can be in our area! During our "Shows Without Moss" we will also have instant kits to join the P. Buckley Moss Society at the $35.00 entry fee for adults when attending. ($25.00 for the Junior entry fee) Always feel welcome to join our mailing list so that you can receive more information about our "Shows Without Moss" promotional open house weeks.

WE also have in the new Snowman pillow, Hatteras stocking (features a goose and the lighthouse)

Seasons of Faith ornaments- We have like numbered sets in. We will probably get individual ones in soon. We wanted to get the like numbered sets in first for everyone to see and we figured those would sell out the fastest.

(There are a few exclusions to particular prints for personalization, as mentioned above.)

Twelve Days of Christmas: Please call for remaining stock of this series. Very limited.

We have a retired pillow design in of Pat's famous "little birds" Older stock is in of : Tapestry Angel stocking, snowman stocking.
