P. Buckley Moss FAQ

Welcome to the P. Buckley Moss FAQ page at Canada Goose Gallery, where we answer your most frequently asked questions about collecting art.

When you buy P. Buckley Moss art, you are buying a limited-edition art print 99% of the time. P. Buckley Moss limited-edition art is more valuable than art printed in volume quantities by unknown artists. If you are making a P. Buckley Moss purchase, you want to know that your investment will hold its value and perhaps become a highly sought-after print that increases in value over time.

Do you know if what you are buying at garage or yard sales has real value? Are the colors original, or have they faded? Are the mats over the artwork acid-free and archival? Is there UV-protectant glass on the framed piece, and is there tape on the print? Has it been cut or dry-mounted before being put in that frame?

If you are not sure about all of these points, do not consider making a purchase without professional advice. When you buy from our collections, we guarantee mint-condition prints that have never been framed or exposed to harmful light. If a print has been framed, we always use UV glass, archival backing boards, and we never tape the print to the matting.

We often find pieces that have been framed elsewhere fall short of recommended conservation practices; some limited-edition art prints are even backed with acidic cardboard. Nothing damages paper like the acids in products that are not approved for preservation. The print you are paying for may one day be the most valuable print released by American artist P. Buckley Moss. Wouldn’t it be devastating to find out that what you paid for was a faded, damaged piece that you could not resell for its escalated current value?

Here is the golden rule to follow: The value of art is determined by the quality of its care. Consult a professional for advice.

VISITING THE GALLERY

Where are you located?

Our gallery is located in Waynesville, Ohio, a small village in Southwest Ohio, which was part of the early settlement of the state. Waynesville was located on the accommodation line, which was a route stagecoaches took when traveling across the country to destinations in the west. The original “Stagecoach Stop” is still standing today and is used as a private residence.

Is there parking close by?

We have on-street parking available throughout our quaint village of Waynesville.

Where is the nearest parking garage?

You won’t find anything resembling big-city living like a parking garage in our little village! However, we more than make up for the lack of big-city infrastructure with charm and our historic, step-back-in-time atmosphere.

What are your hours?

Canada Goose Gallery is open every day except Mondays:

• Tuesday–Friday: 10:30 AM – 5:00 PM

• Saturday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

• Sunday: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Is the Gallery available for private event rentals?

Hosting a private event in the gallery is not something we have done before, but we welcome your ideas! Bring us your thoughts and we will gladly consider trying something new. Everyone loves a gathering, and what could be more inspiring than an art event?

Can the Gallery appraise my artwork or artifacts?

We consider ourselves experts in the works of American artist P. Buckley Moss—her art is the very reason we opened our gallery. While we appreciate all forms of art and collectibles, we are not experts in the works of other artists and are not qualified to give official appraisals. However, we are always delighted to talk with you about the works of Pat Moss.

I’m an artist. Can I send you information about my work?

At this time, we do not have plans to incorporate other artists’ works into our regular inventory. However, Waynesville hosts four to five street faire events each year from June through September where artists are invited to display and sell their art to the public. We highly encourage you to consider signing up for a booth space through Waynesville Shops.

Are large bags permitted on site?

We have no objections to you bringing large bags into our gallery. However, carrying them can become cumbersome while you are browsing and enjoying our art displays. For your convenience, we would be glad to safely store your purchases and large bags behind our front desk while you shop.

Is the Gallery handicap accessible?

Our gallery is located in a one-hundred-year-old building, as are most of the shops and businesses in Waynesville. Because of this historic architecture, Canada Goose Gallery is not fully handicap accessible, as there is one step required to enter the building. If there is anything we can do to help make your visit to town and our gallery possible, please call us ahead of time and we will make sure your needs are met.

Are mobile devices permitted in the gallery?

Of course! We all feel more comfortable when our mobile devices are close at hand. You are always welcome to keep your devices with you, and we offer complimentary Wi-Fi for your convenience.

Can I bring a backpack or diaper bag into the Gallery?

We want to make your visit with us relaxing and worry-free. Please bring whatever you need for your family, and let us provide a safe place to store your belongings behind the counter so you can enjoy your visit unencumbered.

Are strollers allowed?

While our historic layout doesn’t provide a lot of space for rolling strollers through the display aisles, we are more than happy to make room for you to park your stroller safely inside the gallery entrance.

How accurate are the item dimensions listed on your website?

If you are trying to calculate exact framing dimensions or have questions about a specific piece’s layout, please feel free to give us a call and we can verify the exact measurements for you on the spot.

How do I know if a particular piece of art is signed by the artist?

If it is a signed and numbered edition published prior to mid-1984, the piece of art features a hand-signed “Moss” signature directly on the image. From mid-1984 onward, prints were signed using a matrix of the P. Buckley Moss signature. All Moss original works, remarques, and etchings that arrived at our gallery are hand-signed by Moss. New originals, Remarques and Canvas art arriving in our gallery will give details about how the art has been signed.

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Do you ship internationally?

While we are not asked to ship internationally very often, we are happy to accommodate collectors from around the world. International shipping rates and delivery timelines vary based on your location and the size of the artwork. If you are ordering from outside the United States, please reach out to us directly so we can calculate an accurate shipping quote and coordinate the custom details for your package.

Do I need to sign for my package upon delivery?

You generally do not have to sign for our shipments, but delivery preferences should be addressed directly with UPS or your local post office. You can easily adjust your delivery options through their respective tracking portals to suit your preferences. Please note that if a package is insured for a high dollar amount, the post office will require a signature upon delivery.

Do you offer expedited or same-day delivery?

We can often arrange alternative shipping methods if you need your items quickly. Please call us to let us know your specific timeline, and we will do everything possible to accommodate your needs.

How is shipping insurance calculated?

Your package is automatically insured up to a value of $100.00. If you would like to purchase additional coverage for higher-value artwork, please let us know when placing your order, and we can calculate the exact insurance rate for your shipment.

Do I pay tax on out-of-state purchases?

You do not pay sales tax on any out-of-state purchases. Sales tax is only applied if you are a resident of Ohio.

What type of packaging do you use?

We carefully choose packaging that best suits each individual shipment. All flat art—except for oversized pieces—is shipped flat, securely taped between layers of sturdy cardboard. Oversized art (pieces measuring 40″ x 60″ or larger) will be rolled and shipped safely inside a protective tube.

Shipments containing multiple prints are packed together between protective cardboard layers or sent inside boxes. Framed pieces of art are packed in heavy-duty, double-walled cardboard boxes, surrounded by a combination of bubble wrap and internal cardboard edge protectors. We then fill any remaining space with premium packing materials to ensure your artwork cannot shift during transit.

When will my art arrive?

The arrival of your package depends entirely on when your order is placed and when it ships. When you provide your email address at checkout, we will email you a tracking number from USPS so you can track the progress of your shipment.

If you need an item shipped immediately for same-day or next-day delivery, we can usually arrange to have your purchase shipped directly from the P. Buckley Moss distribution center. Please note that this option is only available if the item you requested is not a sold-out edition, and provided the distribution center does not need to custom-print the image (as is sometimes the case with giclée prints). Most orders are successfully shipped out within a three-day window. Please feel free to talk with us about your timeline so we can find the shipping arrangements that best meet your needs.

How do I track my order?

When you provide your email address with your order, we will send you an email that contains information about your package and your tracking information will be included in this email. If by some chance, you do not receive an email, feel free to call us and we will provide you with a tracking number and updated information on any package being delivered.

How much will shipping costs be?

Through our shopping cart, we have established a standard shipping cost of $15.00. In most cases, the actual shipping costs exceed this set amount, but we absorb the difference to show our appreciation for your business.

For custom-framed pieces, you will be charged the standard flat rate at checkout; however, as noted on each individual framed item, extra shipping charges will be calculated separately based on the specific size, weight, and custom box requirements. In any event, you will only ever be charged our actual shipping costs or less.

Can I combine multiple items into one shipment to lower shipping costs?

Add as many prints to your order as you like! Shipping costs are calculated through our shopping cart at a flat rate of $15.00. For larger orders placed through our cart, we are glad to give discounted amounts that show in the check out and are lower than the additional carrier costs. If you are ordering a single ornament or a small item that can fit into a USPS Flat Rate box, we adjust the charge accordingly; however, if you have questions, feel free to call the gallery at 513-897-4348 with questions or concerns.

What happens if only a portion of my order is available for immediate shipment?

We handle these situations on an individual basis. Every circumstance is unique, and we will work with you directly to accommodate your specific needs and preferences.

What should I do if I receive a damaged item?

Call us immediately at 513-897-4348. The shipping carrier will require an inspection of the package and all of its contents, so please be sure to keep all the original packaging that arrived with your item. The carrier will need to pick up the damaged item directly from you. We will promptly file the insurance claim on our end and keep you updated with the details. If possible, we will send you a duplicate item immediately before the claim is settled, provided a replacement item is available in our inventory.

Can I ship to a PO Box?

Yes, USPS will deliver to a PO Box.

Do you offer framing in the Gallery?

We do offer custom framing right here in our gallery. We carry a wide variety of high-quality frame moldings and matting options for you to choose from. Our team is happy to offer expert design advice, or we can simply frame your piece to your exact specifications. We unconditionally support conservation techniques and use premium, preservation-grade supplies to ensure your artwork is fully protected. If a piece of art is worth framing, it is worth preserving.

Why should I frame my art?

Choose the right frame, and we guarantee you will love your image even more. Here is why:

• Selection: Our curated assortment of top-quality frames includes the most popular design trends and styles, allowing you to fully customize your art.

• Personal Touch: Each piece is truly custom-made, regardless of whether it is selected from our designer assortment or created by you in the Frame Studio.

• Quick Turnaround: All of our mats and moldings are typically readily available, and our turnaround time is usually no more than three weeks—even if a portion of the supply list is on backorder to us. Please let us know if you require rush services.

• Quality Materials: Our frames are handcrafted, mostly in the United States, utilizing only premium materials. Every framed work is carefully assembled by our experienced staff to ensure a beautiful, long-lasting presentation.

• Frames: We stock over 100 beautiful varieties to choose from, ensuring you find the perfect match for your home’s decor.

• Mats: Our acid-free mats are specifically made to protect your print for years to come. Alpha-cellulose conservation mats, for example, are 100% lignin-free and treated to last for well over 100 years.

• Glazing: We offer any available glazing option, including premium glass and acrylic selections for outstanding optical clarity and lightweight impact resistance. Choose the glazing option that best suits your needs. We always recommend considering UV glass for maximum protection, but we can also provide a modern non-glare glass option that is vastly improved over the non-glare options of the past.

How long does it take to frame my order?

Turnaround times depend on the immediate availability of specific framing supplies and our current order volume. We always do our absolute best to meet or exceed any deadlines we have promised you. If you have a specific date or event you are framing for, please let us know so we can plan accordingly.

What if I don’t like the finished frame—can I replace it?

We don’t want you to just live with your art; we want you to absolutely love it! If we have agreed on a custom framing plan and you truly do not like the finished product, we will gladly start over to ensure your complete satisfaction. If we are shipping a finished, custom-framed piece to you, please be sure to review and confirm your design choices with us before it leaves the gallery.

Is framing refundable?

We have never been faced with a situation where a client has asked for a refund on custom framing costs. However, should the need arise, refunds are determined on a case-by-case basis. If you are not completely happy with your design choices, we will gladly work with you to make the necessary changes so that you are absolutely delighted with your finished artwork.

Do you also frame art pieces not purchased in the Gallery?

We are more than happy to frame artwork purchased elsewhere! Our design team is always available to collaborate with you and help you choose the perfect mats and moldings for any piece of art in your collection.

MOSS SOCIETY REWARD POINTS 

How do I earn points?

Society members earn points through our gallery with every purchase. We take care of the paperwork and send your purchase information to the P Buckley Moss Society. They will send you a gift certificate that you are welcome to use on a P. Buckley Moss purchase through our gallery. Expiration dates are followed so redeem in a timely manner. We will need to know at the time of purchase if you are a Society member and be given your unique P. Buckley Moss Society membership number. If you are purchasing online please add your Society Membership number in the note field.

What is the P. Buckley Moss Society?

For many years, collectors asked Pat to start a society dedicated to her art. She was reluctant to do so until it was proposed that the funds collected from membership dues be used entirely to help others. To date, over $2,000,000 has been raised for children and adults with medical and educational needs through the donation of Pat’s artwork.

When you join the P. Buckley Moss Society, you receive exclusive benefits as a reward for your membership. Each annual renewal includes a custom porcelain brooch, a small black-and-white print, and an exclusive opportunity to purchase that year’s members-only print.

Additionally, you will earn valuable Society points when making purchases at Canada Goose Gallery. Once you reach the designated spending threshold, a reward certificate will be issued to use in our gallery toward your next purchase.

Understanding Art Prints

An art print is a high-quality reproduction of an original piece of artwork. Unlike mass-produced posters, art prints in a gallery setting are created using specialized methods that flawlessly capture the detail, color, and texture of the artist’s original vision. For P. Buckley Moss, these reproductions allow her storytelling and imagery to reach a wider audience while maintaining the absolute integrity of her signature style.

Original Paintings

These are the pinnacle of any collection. Every original watercolor is a one-of-a-kind masterwork painted entirely by Pat’s own hand. These pieces showcase the direct brushstrokes and delicate transitions of color that only an original, hand-painted work can provide, making them unique and valuable investments for serious collectors.

Etchings

Etchings are considered “original prints.” Pat creates the image by hand-scratching a metal plate, which is then inked and pressed into heavy watercolor paper. Because each piece is hand-pulled, it features a beautiful, tactile texture and a soft, classic quality distinct from other printing methods.

Silkscreens

Also known as serigraphs, silkscreens are created by pressing ink through a fine mesh screen onto paper or fabric. This process allows for thick, vibrant layers of color and a distinct texture you can actually feel. Because each color requires a separate screen and a manual pull, silkscreen editions are often smaller and highly valued for their bold, graphic impact.

Remarques

A Remarque is a true collector’s gem. It is a small, original drawing that Pat hand-paints or sketches directly onto the border of a limited-edition print, essentially turning a numbered print into a unique, one-of-a-kind hybrid. Because a Remarque is created by the artist’s hand after the printing process is complete, it significantly enhances both the personal and financial value of the artwork.

Canvas Prints

Canvas prints offer a unique, modern way to experience Pat’s work. These pieces are produced using a high-end giclée printing process where millions of vivid ink droplets are applied directly to a premium canvas substrate rather than paper. This method perfectly captures the texture and “explosion of color” found in her original paintings.

One of the greatest benefits of a canvas print is its versatility: it can be placed in a traditional frame without glass, allowing you to enjoy the art without reflective glare and making the colors appear even deeper and more lifelike. Alternatively, it can be matted and framed with glass, enabling you to protect the artwork while still enjoying a rich canvas texture not found in a paper print.

Sketch Prints

These unique editions capture the raw, spontaneous energy of Pat’s initial creative process. Often rendered in black and white or with minimal color, sketch prints highlight the storytelling lines of her compositions—from quiet Amish moments to delicate nature scenes. They offer a more intimate look at the artist’s hand and are a favorite among collectors who appreciate the simplicity and elegance of her draftsmanship.

Giclée Prints

A Giclée (pronounced zhee-klay) is a modern, high-definition digital print. Utilizing millions of tiny ink droplets on archival paper, this process produces the most vibrant colors and sharpest details possible. They are highly durable and beautifully capture the brilliant color palettes found in Pat’s contemporary works.

Lithographs

These are traditional limited-edition prints created through a specialized photographic process. Historically, this was the primary way Pat’s work was shared with collectors. Known for their smooth, classic finish, they remain a staple of long-standing Moss collections.

Limited Edition Prints

A limited edition is a reproduction of an original work that is restricted to a specific, predetermined number of copies. Each piece is individually numbered (e.g., 1/25) and hand-signed by the artist. Once the final print in an edition is sold, the image is “retired,” meaning no further copies will ever be produced in that format. This scarcity is what drives the long-term value and collectability of the work.

Open Edition Prints

Unlike limited editions, open-edition prints do not have a capped number of copies and are not individually numbered. While they are created with the same rigorous, high-quality standards as other gallery works, they are intended to be more accessible and remain in production as long as there is demand. These are excellent for decorative purposes or for those just beginning their journey into the world of P. Buckley Moss art.

Rare & Retired Prints

When a limited edition sells out completely from the publisher, it enters “Retired” status and becomes available only on the secondary market. These rare prints are highly coveted because their supply is permanently fixed while demand continues to grow. We specialize in locating these sold-out treasures in mint condition, ensuring they have been preserved using strict archival methods to protect their historical and financial value.

What is the difference between a Hand-Signed and a Matrix-Signed print?

Collectors often ask about the artist’s signature, as it is a primary mark of authenticity. From the beginning of her career until mid-1984, every P. Buckley Moss limited-edition print was personally hand-signed by Pat Moss. After mid-1984, to accommodate the growth of her audience, edition signatures transitioned to a protected matrix of her hand-script. This matrix signature is applied during the printing process and is personally authorized and approved by her.

However, Canada Goose Gallery is proud to offer an extensive selection of truly hand-signed treasures. Because Pat has visited our gallery for numerous shows over the decades, we maintain a significant inventory of hand-signed canvas prints and modern editions that she signed in person for us. Additionally, many of our older consigned prints come from private collections where the original owners attended shows and had Pat personally sign the artwork. Whether it is an early retired piece or a modern work signed during a gallery event, a hand-signed piece represents a direct, personal connection to the artist herself.
