‘Barn Again’ First Friday at the Ellicott House with Lisa Troupe
Lisa Troupe inside her newly built studio, “Art Cloud.”
Join Lancaster County artist Lisa Troupe for a September 5th First Friday artist reception at the historic 1787 Sehner-Ellicott-von Hess House featuring small, whimsical works rooted in the Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi, embracing the beauty of imperfection. Each 6” x 6” panel is an exploration of layered surfaces that are scraped, obscured, and revealed again, drawing on rural barn shapes.
Troupe’s new series called, “Barn Again.”
They serve as lyrical openings, gently contrasting with the raw materiality of the work, adding a layer of curiosity and contradiction.
The titles—drawn from nursery rhymes, fables, and fragments of fleeting thought—offer a thread of familiarity and whimsy.

Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County
The Trust was established in 1966 to help “stem the rapid destruction of historic properties in Lancaster County.” Through the years, the Trust has been active in helping to preserve many historic properties in Lancaster County that contribute to their respective communities as unique places for people to live, work, and play.
Our equation for success has been working for over 50 years. Look around you and know that our advocacy and direct action have resulted in saving hundreds of historic structures and other sites throughout the county. The flip side is that not everything can and should be saved. The Trust continually faces this delicate balance and works closely with all parties involved to reach an equitable decision for all. Sadly, it sometimes takes an irreplaceable loss to a community before preservation moves higher on the priority list.
