Cheryl Reisler returns to the Fall Art Tour this y Cheryl Reisler returns to the Fall Art Tour this year! Cheryl is a sculptural artist, who says of her work, "My sculptures reflect my personal journey. In practice, I often step back and reflect on its shape, color, and texture connecting me with a thought, emotion, a place or person. I use both traditional and found materials that enhance the visual effect of the work. Many of the found objects are from jewelry boxes, junk drawers, and forgotten bobbles that I have rediscovered with a childlike enthusiasm. My figurative work is three dimensional, tactile and meant to be viewed and touched from different angles and perspectives. The composition of color, shape and texture excites and inspires me."

We're thrilled to welcome Cheryl and her gorgeous work back to the Tour. Stay tuned for updates to our website, where you'll get a sneak peak of the new work our artists and galleries will be featuring this year!

The 21st annual Fall Art Tour is November 7-8, 2026! Mark your calendars, and sign up for our newsletter at www.fallarttour.org (under the Get the News tab) to get all Tour updates and information sent directly to your inbox!
Elena Rousseau is a multi-dimensional sculptural a Elena Rousseau is a multi-dimensional sculptural artist in Rappahannock County, VA. She works out of her beautiful studio in an historic building in Flint Hill, VA. 

Elena says, "The Florence Room, my studio, is a room dedicated to bringing spirit and matter together through the discipline of artistic endeavor and for the sake of pursuing an emergence of beauty that is as diverse and marvelous as each of us. My studio is a chapel of the arts, a space set apart for the creative process which often feels to me like the mixing of worlds. The Florence Room is where I live in that overlap of heaven and earth, where I write poetry, grind mineral pigments into pastes, mix marble plaster for use in fresco paintings, sculpt canvas with gesso, and embellish Italian giltwood artifacts with gold leaf, gems, and minerals. 

"My artistic practice is a constant exercise in freedom, in which tight precision and unapologetic spontaneity bow to one another in turn. It is not uncommon for me to unmake things as often as I make them. This ritual of adding/removing, making/breaking, building/deconstructing is a reenactment of the passage of time and of what it means to be human, I think— excavating life for our truest selves, learning the art of transfiguration as we go, and bringing the world with us toward a unity that grows vast instead of diminishing."

See more of her work on our website at www.fallarttour.org, and on this year's Tour - our 21st! November 7-8, 2026!
