Virginia Taylor is most well known for her Landmark Series, paintings originally commissioned by the New Canaan Historical Society from 1994 – 2003 that depict New Canaan’s small town traditions in her signature folk art style. The paintings of New Canaan’s Ice Cream Social, The Christmas Village, Caroling on God’s Acre, and Skating on Mill Pond, to name a few, were printed as greeting cards and framed prints then sold to benefit the Society. These original paintings, as well as many other traditional New Canaan scenes and activities will be available for purchase at Handwright Gallery this fall.
