Patricia Moss-Vreeland

Patricia Moss-Vreeland’s paintings, drawings and mixed-media works are exhibited nationally at institutions that include the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Institute of Contemporary Art. Her art resides in many permanent collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and The Norton Museum. She exhibited her work at the Locks Gallery in Philadelphia for two decades. Later after winning a national competition, Moss-Vreeland designed the Memorial Room for the Holocaust Museum Houston. This permanent installation earned four awards, including the American Institute of Architects Honor award in Design, and the Spectrum International Award in Design.

Moss-Vreeland went on to receive the Art-in-Science XIV Millennial commission for Memory-Connections Matter, at the Esther Klein Gallery, University City Science Center, Philadelphia, that incorporated her poetry and art, illuminating the relationship between memory, creativity and learning. A traveling exhibition, it went on to the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, MN, as the central focus for the Fields of Mind Conference, for which she and her neuroscience advisor were the keynote speakers. This work led to her designing and writing her recent book, A Place for Memory: Where Art and Science Meet. The book combines images of Moss-Vreeland’s art, her poetry and lyrical text, created to inform and connect with each reader, exploring the connections between memory, creativity, brain function, and learning.

Moss-Vreeland expanded her artistic practice to workshops, lectures, residencies and collaborative public participatory events. She has been a Presenter for the last two years at DesignPhiladelphia events, and has curated a Community Table in partnership with the Monell Chemical Senses Center, at the Painted Bride Art Center, Philadelphia, on her work with memory and our senses. She has been invited to present her work at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the University of the Arts, 2015.

Her artwork was featured this past year in a New York exhibition Science Inspires Art: The Brain, at the Walter O. Lecroy Gallery of the New York Hall of Science, Flushing Meadows, NY, October 10 - March 29, 2015; Works on Paper: Survey of Purchase Prizes 1978-2009 at Arcadia University, Glenside, PA, February 10- March 15, 2015, and PII Gallery, The Nature of Time and Place, guest curated thematic group exhibition, Philadelphia, May 2015.
