Mark Zimmerman is a featured artist at Gay Street Mark Zimmerman is a featured artist at Gay Street Gallery for this year's Fall Art Tour! Mark is a woodturner who uses a variety of techniques to create his art. For a round bowl or platter, he starts with a chunk of wood – such as walnut, cherry, or ash – and uses his bandsaw to cut the blank into a circle. The second step is to attach the wood to his lathe to begin shaping the object. Here is where Mark makes a host of decisions about the next steps in the process. Depending on the wood grain and the shape, he might add embellishments with woodburning, acrylic paints, or stained glass. Or he might emphasize a natural edge by leaving part of the tree bark on the piece. Each choice ultimately leads to a unique result, which is part of the joy of working with wood.   Meet Mark and Gay Street's other features artists on Fall Art Tour weekend, November 7-8, 2026, and also at the opening reception at Gay street Gallery on October 10, 2026, from 4:00 - 6:00 pm! #rappahannockcounty #visitrappahannockva #fallarttourva #explorerappland #fallarttour

We’re delighted to welcome Rappahannock County art We’re delighted to welcome Rappahannock County artist Dennis Barry back to the Fall Art Tour! After 40 years as a lawyer, Dennis traded legal briefs for sawdust, wood, and stained glass, transforming an outbuilding on his property into a woodshop. His creative journey led him to an especially beautiful art form: handcrafted wooden lamps paired with colorful, elegant stained glass. Each piece brings together the warmth of wood and the luminous beauty of glass, resulting in functional works of art that brighten any space. See more of his work on our website at www.fallarttour.org, and on this year's Fall Art Tour - November 7-8, 2026!
