Mary Singleton was a nationally recognized folk artist from Camp Douglas, Wisconsin, whose paintings draw directly from her childhood in Central Wisconsin. Her work follows the agricultural year through spring planting, summer harvest, autumn festivals, and winter gatherings, capturing not just farm activities but the community bonds, multi-generational traditions, and seasonal rhythms that give rural life its particular character and meaning. Her 2027 calendars continue to bring that authentic Wisconsin heritage into homes across the country.

About Mary Singleton

Growing up in Central Wisconsin gave Singleton intimate knowledge of the landscapes, farming cycles, and community dynamics that appear throughout her work. Her paintings show specifically Wisconsin settings: rolling hills, red barns, dairy cattle, and the community gatherings that locals immediately recognize as genuine representations of their own experiences. Her father taught his children to appreciate the natural world around them, a foundation that shaped her artistic eye and her commitment to depicting rural life with honesty rather than sentimentality. Her artwork has appeared in Lang's Folk Art Calendar for many years, bringing her vision of Wisconsin farm life to a national audience.

Lang Folk Art 2027 Calendars

The Lang Folk Art collection follows the agricultural year through twelve seasonal farm scenes, from spring planting through winter rest. Each painting reveals the interconnected relationships between farmers, animals, land, and weather that characterize traditional farming life. The 2027 lineup includes a wall calendar, vertical wall calendar for kitchens and narrow spaces, a full planner, and a monthly pocket planner for anyone who wants Singleton's farm scenes alongside their daily organization.

Folk Life 2027: Rural Community Traditions

The Folk Life wall calendar expands beyond specific farming activities into the broader social and cultural life of rural communities: neighborhood gatherings, seasonal celebrations, multi-generational traditions, and the everyday moments that make agricultural communities rich with meaning. These paintings often feature multiple generations working and celebrating together, children learning from elders, and families maintaining traditions that provide continuity across changing times. For people who understand that rural heritage is about more than crops and livestock, Folk Life offers a deeper look at the ways of living that define America's farming communities.
