Florence Starr Taylor's career spanned more than 70 years, beginning shortly after she graduated from Philadelphia's former Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Arts (now the University of the Arts). During World War II, Taylor traveled around the country as a USO portraitist. She traveled to Europe and recorded everything she saw on paper. Locally, her work was everywhere, from the publications of Lancaster Newspapers Inc., to the Hamilton Watch Co., where she designed outdoor backdrops for Christmas displays. Her portraits hung in Fulton Opera House and her dioramas at North Museum, where she was artist in residence. Prior to her death in 1991, she included a provision in her will to create an endowment at the Community Foundation. Through this generous gift, her legacy is living on, supporting visual arts projects throughout our community.
