A note from Fig

AS THE RHYTHM OF THE S E A S O N S guides us into fall, we are excited to once again celebrate creativity in our magnificent city in our annual arts issue. This year, our focus has turned to those who are thinking differently about the world around them. The creators and innovators who are responding to changing needs and finding solutions—Lancaster’s Design Thinkers as we like to call them.

Meet them starting on page 57.

Here at Fig Industries, we believe in the transformational power of thinking deliberately and creatively. My coach and friend Kedren Crosby of Work Wisdom says, “When we start with human-centered design and deep empathy as we consider the end-user’s experience, we are far more likely to find design solutions that positively transform people’s lives.” You can find more inspiration in this issue from Kedren as well as Pedro Rivera of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in our continuing Reach High leadership series sponsored

by High Foundation.

We will also introduce you to visual artists and craftspeople in our special artists

section, which features a surprise gift.

Ten custom stickers designed by Lancaster artists—a collectible first in Fig. Thank you to our sponsors Henrietta Heisler Interiors Inc., Armstrong World Industries, and MAROTTA/MAIN Architects, for making our sticker dreams come true.

Embracing the good that change and newness can bring, I could not be more excited to announce a promotion here at Fig Industries. Jason James, who is featured in our Design Thinking section on page 59, has been promoted to Creative Director. His thoughtful leadership and exceptional talent will help guide our way into the future.

As you will see, there are a lot of exciting ideas taking root right here in Lancaster City, bubbling up and making way for innovation. And as we have for nearly 17 years, Fig is here as your guide to the entrepreneurs who are taking a leap and bringing their new ideas to life right here where we call home.

Creatively yours, Deborah Brandt & The Fig Team FIGINDUSTRIES.COM

Fresh Face: inJoy Golf A N D R E W L A L LY ’ S love of golf began at the age of seven when his grandfather taught him how to play.

His passion for the game continued throughout his life while he pursued a career in physical therapy. Although he loved his job as a physical therapist, the thought of pivoting his career excited him. After drawing up a business plan and crunching numbers with his SCORE mentor, Andrew called his wife and said it was time to quit his job and pursue a new dream—opening an indoor golf facility.

Powered by state-of-the-art technology, inJoy’s digital golfing experience makes it possible for skilled players to strengthen their abilities, beginners to improve their game, and non-golfers to have fun trying out the sport. inJoy’s on-site gym facility makes it possible for Andrew to continue using his physical therapy background, providing athletes with workouts tailored to help them meet their specific goals for growth on and off the green.

In November 2021, inJoy Golf opened its doors, welcoming Lancaster golfers into a unique twist on the golfing experience they were accustomed to.

At inJoy, the traditional golf green is replaced by synthetic turf and a floor-to-

continue to become a place where golfers can strengthen their game and where anyone can gather to spend time with friends, have some drinks (it’s BYOB!), and discover the joy of the game he first experienced as a child.

Since day one of his opening, Andrew says he has been welcomed with open arms into not just the golfing community, but the vibrant small business community that is a fundamental part of Lancaster culture.

“The support has been unbelievable, and I am so thankful we are in this community,” Andrew said. “We’re going to work hard to give them a place that they love to be in.”

P

edro A. Rivera is passionate about education’s role in creating pathways to success, especially for students from underserved and underrepresented communities. Pedro, the President of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, has first-hand knowledge of the barriers to education. Raised by a single mother in a lower-income section of Philadelphia, he experienced some of the same struggles his students face—poverty, homelessness, and food insecurity. “Even as fortunate as I was—having a great family supporting me—the educational system was difficult to navigate. Those experiences made me want to become an educator,” Pedro said.

After getting his education, he taught and became an administrator in the community where he grew up before moving to Lancaster to become the superintendent of schools. He then went on to become Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Education and was named President at Thaddeus Stevens College in 2020.

Almost 15 years into his career, Pedro is still committed to facilitating a holistic approach to education. “To have this opportunity to lead an institution whose sole mission is to provide a pathway to prosperity through education and training for a highly skilled job is a

“If we as a collective community can help our families become selfsufficient…we’re creating the conditions that allow them to invest in themselves, their families, and their community.” culmination of everything I’ve dedicated my life to and everything I’ve experienced,” he said.

As the president of the College, Pedro connects with employees, community partners, businesses and organizations, and donors across Pennsylvania to support student success, including helping them meet their basic needs (like housing, food, clothing, and transportation).

Thaddeus Stevens College is a holistic mission college that connects students to resources, and Pedro sees the impact investing in his students can make. “If we as a collective community can help our families become self-sufficient, whether it’s with affordable housing, access to childcare, addressing food insecurity, or training through a traditional two-year program, we’re creating the conditions that allow them to invest in themselves, their families, and their community.

That’s how you create generational wealth and transform communities,” he added.

By empowering the faculty and staff he leads, and partnering with individuals and organizations in the Commonwealth, Pedro is creating a legacy of leadership that will transform the community of Lancaster and beyond.

Fresh Face | Welcoming new businesses to Lancaster City

Fresh Face: Pocket Books Shop J U L I E R O S S , A U S T I N C A RT E R , A N D J E S S C A L L A H A N are the dreamers behind Lancaster’s new independent bookstore, Pocket Books.

Both Jess and Austin previously had successful careers in academia while Julie worked in tech, but as the pandemic made waves of impact, the trio realized they didn’t want to wait any longer to build the life of their dreams. By fusing their love of literature and a desire to use books as a form of activism, the idea for Pocket Books began to take shape.

They had one lingering question: Where does Pocket Books belong? The three were living in Columbus, Ohio when Austin, originally from Lititz, proposed they take a weekend trip to Lancaster City. Within 15 minutes of arriving, they had a gut feeling Lancaster was the place where their dreams would come

to life. In spring 2022, the trio moved to Lancaster, officially opening Pocket Books in April.

On the corner of Wheatland and West End Avenue, Pocket Books is an idyllic neighborhood bookshop. The building’s wrap-around porch is decorated with plants and wicker furniture, and inside, floor-to-ceiling shelves are full of vibrant book covers. Special touches like handwritten staff recommendations and a kids’ corner with picture books and stuffed animals make the space feel warm and inviting. Pocket Books is a place where everyone is welcome—even pups.

“This is a space for [everyone, even] folks who aren’t necessarily at home in other mainstream spots,” Julie said. Each book elevates the voices of people who have previously been underrepresented in the publishing world—including women, 903 WHEATLAND AVENUE

Between the three of them, Jess, Julie, and Austin read hundreds of books a year, carefully choosing which books make it to their shelves. Above all, they believe reading should be fun.

“We are decidedly uninterested in the idea that reading universally, or reading books by women, people of color, trans people, queer people, is the equivalent of eating your vegetables,” Austin explained.

“It’s really our dream to spend all day in this bookstore,” Jess added.

Jess, Julie, and Austin have seen firsthand how reading catalyzes connections and builds community, and they have big ideas for bringing the people of Lancaster together in the shop and celebrating their newfound community’s love of literature.

Co-owner Tim Hill

Fresh Face: Let’s Roll T I M H I L L A N D RYA N F I N G E R are brothers-in-law, business partners, and owners of Lancaster City’s new electric bike shop, Let’s Roll.

When Ryan’s father bought an electric bike several years ago, the guys couldn’t wait to take it out for a spin.

They loved how riding brought back memories of childhood days spent riding dirt bikes, and they purchased their own cycles the next day.

While they discovered a mutual love for riding electric bikes, they didn’t expect to find a larger community of people who shared their interest —but they did. Without a spot in Lancaster for people to rent, buy, or

repair electric cycles, the pair saw a need and jumped to fill the void.

Let’s Roll opened its door in May 2022, giving electric bike enthusiasts a place within city limits where they could talk shop, ask questions, and geek out about the latest models.

The duo has big ideas for how their business could change the way Lancaster residents commute. As gas prices rise and traffic becomes increasingly more congested, Let’s Roll wants to offer an alternative way to get around.

“We are trying to get people to stash the keys and take a bike more often,” Tim said. “We’re just trying to help people out and spread positive vibes.”

23 EAST WALNUT STREET

The shop has space for people to browse the increasing brands and models they have to offer and a designated space in the back for you to stop in for repairs. Their spot on the corner of Walnut and Christian Street even has the perfect alley for a quick test drive.

“The bikes are for everyone,” Ryan added. “Even if you didn’t buy your bike here, you can bring it here to get fixed.”

Whether you have experience behind the handlebars of an electric bike or are looking to satisfy your curiosity, Let’s Roll is ready to welcome anyone and everyone into the community of bike lovers they are building.

Dan Betancourt, President & CEO of Community First Fund, and Marilyn Brown, Board Chair of the Community First Fund Credit Union

A pathway to Financial Peace WITH A GRAND RIBBON C U T T I N G in June of this year, Community First Fund officially opened the doors to its first Credit Union on the corner of Duke and Vine Street.

“We’ve been serving Lancaster for 30 years by providing access to credit to entrepreneurs who want to make a positive change in the community,” said Daniel Betancourt, President and CEO of Community First Fund. “With the credit union, our mission is to provide a pathway to financial stability for families.

We’re excited to expand our service in the community and celebrate this milestone.”

The mission behind Community First Fund Credit Union is to create financial equity and economic mobility for individuals and families. Twenty-seven percent of U.S. households don’t have bank accounts or are using alternative

financial services, and that number is nearly fifty percent among the African American population and forty-six percent in Latino households.

As a continuation of Community First Fund’s commercial lending legacy in the Lancaster area, the Credit Union is an additional resource aimed at helping to foster financial equity and economic prosperity while providing financial literacy education for the community.

“That’s why we are in this neighborhood,” Marilyn Brown, Board Chair of the Credit Union, said. “Because the best thing is to be among the communities we need to serve.”

Joiner Olivier, Branch Manager of the Community First Fund Credit Union, came onboard because of his desire to help the community with financial

services as well as education paired with those services.

“In this community, many people have not had access to financial education.

We are trying to teach the importance of banking—what credit is, how you manage it, why it’s important, and why a savings account is important.” he said.

“We’re offering our members the tools to understand their current financial situation and help guide them towards achieving financial success, however they define it.”

In addition to personal and business checking and savings accounts, the credit union also offers personal and auto loans, money market accounts, and share term certificates with terms meant to be fair and transparent, and all advertising and account information is printed in both Spanish and English.

ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES...

GROWING STRONGER WITH LANCASTER As a leader in the design and manufacture of acoustical ceiling and walls, Armstrong World Industries (AWI) is a strong and vibrant billiondollar company that’s been in business for more than 160 years.

We’re proud to call Lancaster home where over 800 of our 2,800 employees live and work on our Columbia Avenue corporate campus in Roherstown and in our manufacturing facility in Marietta.

In 2016, we became a publicly-traded company focused on ceilings and walls. Since, we have grown profitably, acquiring seven companies in the U.S. and Canada and launching innovative, new ceiling solutions such as Total Acoustics®, Sustain®, DesignFlex®, AcoustiBuilt® and AirAssure™.

We also introduced a new full-service, online platform called kanopibyarmstrong™ where smaller business and facility owners / managers can order new or replacement ceiling tiles and have them installed through our network of contractors.

We’ve never been more excited about our future and the many opportunities we have to make a difference in spaces where we all live, work, learn, heal and play, with health, safety and sustainability at the forefront of our operating model and business strategy.

We look forward to another hundred years in Lancaster and continuing to grow this thriving community together.

Better Soil. Better Oil. S O I L H E A LT H might be an unconventional thing to associate with CBD, but that’s exactly what health-conscious consumers are starting to dig in to.

Farmer, author, and speaker Steve Groff has carefully cultivated the soil on his third-generation farm for decades. As a result, it yields more nutrient-dense produce and better-for-the-planet products—including the hemp oil extract used to make Cedar Meadow Farm’s line of CBD oils, lotions, and salves.

Derived entirely from the plants grown on his farm, these products are rooted in Steve’s regenerative expertise. His passion for giving people a natural alternative for balanced, healthy living comes through in every bottle.

DAVID LYALL

Principal Designer & Team Leader

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR CREATIVE DESIGN PROCESS? “There’s a definite energy transfer that takes place between me and every project. I’ll walk into a room and almost immediately begin to mentally map out the possibilities. I like the spaces I design to feel personal, timeless, well balanced, and assembled in a way that doesn’t feel forced or overly decorated. It’s always about my desire to get inside the client’s head to understand who they are and how they want to live.

From there, it’s really just about developing an interior plan that elevates personal style in the most thoughtful & tasteful way possible.”

– David Lyall, IDS K Learn more about David Lyall Design at davidlyalldesign.com

58

HOW DO YOU APPROACH YOUR CREATIVE DESIGN PROCESS? “Design thinking is creative problem solving. My creative process begins with understanding the gaps, or the problems, of the project. Far too often, designers start by asking themselves, ‘How can I make this project cool or innovative? How do I make it unlike anything else in the marketplace?’

That’s a mistake. A designer must first seek to meet project objectives.

I do my best to be curious about the subject, to put time into research, to identify what has been done to solve this problem previously. From there, it’s about identifying new and novel ideas—asking, ‘What connections have been made before now? Should I continue down that road or try a new way?’ These are the creative steps that lead to something beautiful, meaningful, and resonant.”

HOW DO YOU APPROACH YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS? “Our process always begins with listening—listening to our clients and our subjects/characters. Something that’s important to us is creating a collaborative environment between ourselves, clients, and subjects. This helps ensure the stories we’re telling are done so in an engaging and truthful way. Most of the films we produce focus on the stories of real-life people, and it’s important for us to genuinely and quickly connect with these folks in order to create trust, which in turn, helps showcase their stories in an organic way. At the end of the day, this is what brings our work to life.”

Process Experience Design (PXD)

JOSEPH KRZEMIENSKI Co-founder and CXO

HOW WOULD YOU INTERPRET THE PHRASE DESIGN THINKING? “Design thinking describes how humans have effectively solved problems since the beginning. The creative process is a framework for literal and metaphorical pathfinding. If you can correctly identify and diagnose a problem, you can hypothesize a path to a solution and test against it. Being wrong and adjusting is far more important than being right straight out of the gate. For our team, approaching every problem with this process allows us to cut through bias, arrive at real solutions, and focus on delivering world-class design for our partners.”

WHAT IS YOUR COMPANY ETHOS AND HOW DOES IT SUPPORT DESIGN THINKING? “INGOMA is an uncommon company—we’ve produced national and local ads, documentaries about Africa, and feature films right here in Pennsylvania. We’ve worked all over the world, but we’ve learned that the way to speak to global questions is to get specific. That means we look at every project as a chance to address a real-world issue. First, we have to understand the problem holistically. Then, we apply our storytelling sensibilities to solve it. To us, that’s design thinking— believing that every project can make the world a little better as we design a solution.”

– Andrew and Carley Bilindabagabo K 64

Learn more about INGOMA at ingomafilms.com

HOW DO YOU APPROACH YOUR CREATIVE DESIGN PROCESS? “I believe all creative design processes begin with good communication and the need to tell a story. Taking the time first to get to know our clients builds trust and enables us to step beyond our client’s initial focus in order to bring their dreams into reality.

At AK Interiors, our philosophy is that interiors should reflect the needs and the lifestyles of the individual—that’s what makes each space uniquely distinct. We approach each project with the intention of creating memories, while focusing on functionality and a design that will stand the test of time.”

CREATIVE DESIGN PROCESS?

YOU THINK ABOUT DESIGN?

“I like to start with what I know works.

Staring at a blank page can be intimidating, but studying precedents and asking, ‘How can I make this better?’ and trying a different approach can lead to creative solutions. From there, move on to the next problem, try out different solutions, and keep adapting.”

“The best creativity is never scheduled. When I’m inspired, I need to capture it in the form of a sketch. Sharing that sketch or a 3D model view of part of their building created from that sketch allows our clients to see how their vision and our impression of their vision align.”

HOW DO YOU APPROACH YOUR CREATIVE DESIGN PROCESS? “I believe design is both art and science. Understanding the science behind design is what our team uses to create a framework that a client will love, both functionally and aesthetically. Every design we approach starts with a discovery conversation with our clients because getting to know our clients—their personalities, sense of style, how they use their spaces—is the backbone to any design we create.

From there, we work hand in hand, guiding them throughout the entire process—from creating floor plans and renderings, to developing design boards and specific product recommendations to match our clients with pieces that work best for them.”

MATT SKILLEN

Dean of Faculty and Associate Provost for Student Learning

WHAT IS YOUR ETHOS AND HOW DOES IT SUPPORT DESIGN THINKING? “Elizabethtown College, at its core, is dedicated to Educate for Service—how we serve one another and everyone we meet outside of our organization through our knowledge, talents, and energy. Design thinking has amplified this important mission and identity. By adopting design mindsets like focusing on human empathy & values and supporting radical collaboration, we’re creating a community of belongingin-action. With great intentionality we’ve used the design process to develop and refine academic programs, recognize meaningful opportunities for our co-curricular centers, and set a five-year community strategic plan for the college to create deep social impact. In each opportunity to design, we invite as many stakeholders to the table as possible to build on our range of expertise, diverse backgrounds, and enthusiasm for progress and growth.”

Splints & Daisies

TARA FOLKER Owner and Floral Designer

HOW DO YOU APPROACH YOUR CREATIVE DESIGN PROCESS? “Sustainability in floral design is of utmost importance to my process, but I often don’t know my plan of design until that plan is executed.

I typically just begin, and let the flowers decide where they belong.

Being a part of nature, I feel flowers can evoke certain feelings and emotions, and that a design can be a work of art versus an object of consumerism. Because working with local flowers is an intrinsic part of what I stand for, each design changes with inspiration and the season—so each bride and client get a completely unique creation.”

WHAT IS YOUR ETHOS AND HOW DOES IT SUPPORT DESIGN THINKING? “Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology creates opportunities for all to learn a trade and begin a career. Our students come to us from urban, suburban, and rural towns and cities across Pennsylvania. In a program like Masonry—where art and structure meet—we coordinate projects where ideas about overall design can flourish. For example, my second-year students design and build elaborate fireplaces individually and in groups.

As an instructor, my goals are to equip our learners with an understanding of how to design one-of-a-kind, interesting spaces while expanding their knowledge and supporting them on their unique paths forward.”

I chose to get into the plumbing trade full-time after high school, and I started my Apprenticeship followed by four years of schooling with the Associated Builders and Contractors the following year.

After successfully completing my Apprenticeship, I tested to earn my Journeyman’s License, and then took my Master’s exams two years after that.

After a while of working with my father, I started to enjoy the hard work and really liked looking at our finished project.

This helped me decide to get into the construction business where I can utilize the skills I’ve gained throughout the years to do what I love doing.”

Garden Spot Electric Specialty: Electrical Experience: 26 years “[My career] started when I was 16 and started working at a hardware store. To help customers, I needed to know how to wire electrical devices, so I bought a how-to electrical book and learned how to do it using the diagrams on electrical device boxes. That was my first experience with the electrical field. Then, during my senior year of high school, I started at a career tech school, and on the weekends I worked with an electrical inspector, helping him upgrade services on Lancaster county farms. This inspired me to take on my first full-time contractor job after high school, and 26 years later, I’m still in the trade.”

Cultivating high-performance Culture KEDREN CROSBY Founder and President, Work Wisdom

82

RE A CH HI GH A series brought to you by High Foundation that introduces you to business and nonprofit leaders who are thoughtfully innovating with a spirit of servant leadership.

K

edren Crosby and her team at Work Wisdom are revolutionizing achievement. As the B Corporation’s founder and president, Kedren uses her extensive knowledge of emotional intelligence, positive organizational behavior, and positive psychology to help leaders live authentically and work effectively.

“At Work Wisdom, we help individuals, teams, and companies grow in selfknowledge. And we do that in many ways—looking at the enneagram, learning about emotional intelligence, discussing conflict management. We believe as we grow in self-knowledge, it seeps into our awareness and allows us to try different behaviors, which give us better results,” she said.

“At Work Wisdom, we help individuals, teams, and companies grow in self-knowledge.”

Kedren started coaching because she saw the need for personal integration in the workplace. Some people have successful careers, but the gap between who they are and how they have to perform at work is so significant that they can’t live authentically purposeful lives. What began as one-on-one

consulting has expanded to a firm with a core team and associates who bring their unique expertise to the Work Wisdom model.

She advises aspiring leaders to look for role models who lead well, crediting her personal leadership development to watching the legacy of leaders like S. Dale High. “He leads well, and he is extremely humble. He’s always shining the light on other people, but he’s doing amazing work,” she said.

Her own leadership model is evident in the abundance of testimonials of people who Work Wisdom has positively impacted. “We might not be doing huge things, but to quote Mother Teresa, ‘We can do small things with great love.’ And the culmination of all those smaller interactions can change the world,” she added.

Kedren is helping industry leaders adopt mindsets, behaviors, and communication methods that lead to higher performance and more diverse, inclusive, and equitable organizations—revolutionizing achievement in a way that’s sustainable and helps everyone flourish.

S C O T T P E P P L E R WA S J U S T 2 7 Y E A R S O L D when the owner of Lancaster Plumbing and Heating was ready to retire, and Scott was ready for the opportunity to buy the business. A business graduate from Franklin and Marshall College, Scott had started his career at Raub Supply—a well-known Lancaster wholesaler that offered a sales training program that piqued Scott’s interest. It was there that he got connected with Lancaster Plumbing and Heating as one of his sales accounts. “[Raub Supply] taught me everything I needed to know about the plumbing and heating business,” Scott said.

“And I was ready to get started in my own business with the skills I had learned.”

94

Over the next several decades, Scott and his team grew Lancaster Plumbing and Heating, giving customers what he calls a five-star experience.

“We have a special group of employees,” he said. “They really care about what they do every day, and I am proud of the people who worked for me.”

After 42 years of true delight in his job, Scott decided it was time to bring new energy into the business and sell it to the next generation.

“I was fortunate to have two daughters and a General Manager that wanted to step up and be the next owners,” he said. “They have worked for the company

“

Joe was with me every step of the way. It would have been very difficult for me to achieve what I did if it wasn’t for him.”

SELLER SCOTT PEPPLER on working with Joseph Guarino and the LINK Business team

for many years and believed in the culture that we had.

It was the perfect fit for me to be able to pass the company on to them.”

Bob, employee for 33 years, preparing for a job.

But buying and selling a business was much simpler in the 1970s when Scott became the owner. When he decided it was time for the sale, his wealth planner and lawyer referred him to LINK Business.

Joseph Guarino, Principal, President, and CEO of LINK Business, said selling businesses to the next generation can be the most complex sales and the most exciting.

He is passionate about carrying these Lancaster legacy businesses forward through his work at LINK. “For Lancaster Plumbing and Heating, we helped them to determine the value of the business, set the appropriate deal structure, and bring other advisors in to make sure everything was done correctly and efficiently,” Joseph said.

Maureen, employee for 11 years, cheerfully answers every call.

“Joe was with me every step of the way,” Scott added.

“It would have been very difficult for me to achieve what I did if it wasn’t for his help.”

As the only Latino, full-time public and community station serving this region, WLCH began broadcasting in 1987 with the goal of keeping the Hispanic Community informed about news and cultural events.

your dreams

THE FINANCIAL MENTORS at PeoplesBank have developed a tangible way to help clients achieve their dreams and live confidently. Using their awardwinning technology, visitors can create a vision board through an interactive touchscreen. Select images that resonate with your goals from a large selection of vibrant photos to easily create your personalized vision board.

Member FDIC

The vision board exercise is especially dynamic for business owners, helping you identify what you are hoping to achieve now, within a year, and in the future. You can choose from several categories—like asset acquisition, money management, or employee benefits—and prioritize them based on your own timing.

You can then print your vision board, and a financial mentor can identify

your top three goals and make a plan to help you achieve them through deeper conversation.

The vision board experience is available at all PeoplesBank locations, including their Lancaster City Connections Center located in 101NQ. Whether you create your vision board on the large screen in the lobby or in the palm of your hand in a more private setting, financial mentors are ready to help you move forward.

TRANSFORMING WASTE INTO A RESOURCE IN LANCASTER COUNTY

Working Together to Minimize Lancaster County Waste D I D YO U K N OW the average American creates 4.4 pounds of trash per day? That translates into one ton per person annually.

We live in a throwaway society, where people don’t keep things for very long even if those things still work or have value. When we generate replacement items, we increase our use of natural resources and energy, which impacts the health and vitality of our planet.

Although the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority (LCSWMA) manages and processes Lancaster County’s waste responsibly, we need to work together to minimize the amount of waste we generate.

“ I F E E L A S I F I’m in an entirely different world, and I really lose consciousness of time and surroundings as I paint. My wife can attest to that,” Bart Dunlap, an artist and Woodcrest Villa resident, said.

first place in a county fair. His home that he shares with his wife, Mary, is filled with years of paintings—commemorating events, milestones, and moments.

A Bucks county native, Bart has devoted 40 years of his life to the arts through teaching, exhibitions in both Bucks and Lancaster counties, and serving as chairman and member of the Bucks Mont Art League. Also in his repertoire is his involvement with stage sets for the

Miss Pocono Mountain contest and as a designer for the Masland Duran Vinyls.

Bart’s passion, however, is painting a variety of murals, landscapes, and portraits. Whether he is creating en plein air or in his home studio, his gift of being able to find beauty in one focal point or in a single moment is captured forever on canvas.

Groundwork for Growth

“

The sculpture is situated beside a walking and cycling trail so I wanted to incorporate an athletic theme. I chose the idea of a human pyramid to suggest not only strength, exercise, and fitness, but also the mutual support required to create that pyramid. The leaf motif the figures are balancing on represents new growth and the natural environment while also giving a nod to Greenfield’s logo.”
