Guest Artists for October 20 - George Jennings

One of two featured guest artists for the October 20 Tappahannock Farmers' Market, George Jennings will be on show for the first time at the market. A Tappahannock resident on Water Lane, the process of restoring Henley's House aka Emerson's Ordinary has taken much of his time. George has now established himself and his architecture business on Prince Street adjacent to the Rivahside Cafe. To quote George "I practice art in the true comprehensive complex sense of the simple three-letter word. Through various mediums, I investigate and learn about my being at a particular point in time, but always learning and constantly moving forward, though often through what seems to be a reverse gear! In the visual arts, you must back away from your efforts to see if the details effectively support your overall composition. The same is true in life. " Please welcome guest artist George to the Tappahannock market.
