Early life and education
Patricia Buckley was born on Staten Island in New York City on May 20, 1933.[1] Raised on Staten Island, she was the second of three children of an Irish American-Sicilian marriage.[citation needed] In grade school, young Moss was perceived as a poor student, a circumstance probably attributable to dyslexia.
Nonetheless, one of her teachers determined that she, who was "Not Proficient in Anything", was artistically gifted. This helped to convince her mother to enroll her daughter in a specialized public school for girls, Washington Irving High School for the Fine Arts in Manhattan.[2]
In 1951, Moss received a scholarship to study art at Cooper Union College.[3]
