Artist Reception: Rachel Major – Surroundings

Join us as we celebrate Surroundings, the first solo exhibition of paintings by Rachel Major. Created through a process of dripping paint onto canvas or wood, Major’s layered surfaces explore texture, color, and the balance between control and chance. This series is inspired by her daily encounters with the landscape surrounding her home in San Francisco’s Richmond District—a quiet, often foggy neighborhood. Her paintings reflect the shifting moods of this coastal environment, particularly the ever-changing view of the San Francisco Bay, the Headlands, and the Golden Gate Bridge as they emerge and recede through the mist. The act of covering and revealing in her work echoes the landscape’s own rhythms.
