About Rachel
Rachel Kantner (Rachel Majesty) is a multimedia artist—working primarily in painting. Her work spans two primary bodies: a series of dreamy, small-scale portraits of pets and people, and a collection of whimsical, folkloric paintings rooted in surrealism.
Rachel’s miniature wood panel portraits—often adorned with handspun yarn—are vibrant, emotionally rich, and highly sought after. Her surreal work draws from folklore, cryptids, and personal mythologies, often inspired by vintage camcorder footage, New England’s mysticism, and the quiet eeriness of everyday life.
Her work is currently exhibited at her events and by appointment at her studio in Urban Arts House. She has previously shown at Levengoods & Third Story Gallery in Lancaster, PA, Hive & Forge in Salem, MA, and at Alchemy & Art in Amesbury, MA. She has been featured in shows and various conventions throughout the U.S.
Rachel is a dedicated supporter of Humane Pennsylvania, Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue, and Friends of Greenlawn Cemetery in Salem, MA, frequently donating artwork to support their causes. Earlier in her career, she was a fiber artist whose work was featured in Intertwined by Lexi Boeger and Fine Living Lancaster.
She now serves as President of the Lancaster PA Artist Society (LPAS) and often collaborates with her partner, Damian Sorrow, on creative projects and performances.
The Work
Turning the mundane into the majestic.
Rachel Majesty creates expressive paintings and portraits that blend tenderness, color, and whimsical surrealism. Her work often lives on wood panels and incorporates unexpected textures, drawing inspiration from personal mythologies, animals, and the strange beauty of everyday life. Each piece is made slowly and intentionally, meant to feel intimate, magical, and one of a kind.
She started out in fibers and she has since refined a niche in that medium centered on deconstructing materials using a wool picker and drum carder—working with old sweaters, wool, virgin hair extensions, and always a touch of sparkle.
