Gerri Rachins is an American artist, living and working in Boston, Massachusetts. Her works on paper oscillate with a restless nature and refuse to settle on a narrative. Rachins reveals a fascination with human perception and a preoccupation with the laws of physics by using colorful liquid inks and paints affected by gravity in her works. She employs contrasting visual elements to display the complex zeitgeist of our time.

Rachins has been a faculty member for twenty years at the School of The Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts in Boston and was also a faculty member at Massachusetts College of Art & Design for over a decade. She studied at the New York Studio School while earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia. In 2001, Rachins earned a Master of Fine Arts from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, MA working in painting, drawing, and printmaking. Her artworks are part of private and public collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Danforth Art Museum, Fidelity Investments, and others throughout the United States and Europe.

In the Boston area, Rachins’ works are represented by Mobilia Gallery, Cambridge, MA, who recently hosted a 20-year retrospective to celebrate their long-standing representation of her work. She exhibits in New York at The Painting Center where she hosted her most recent solo exhibition, “ALMOST EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL” in Fall of 2022.

Gerri’s work can also be found online at Jason McCoy Gallery, SHIM Art Network, Refrigerator Poetry, Denise Bibro Gallery, and BOOM Contemporary.
