Art Exhibit at Canessa Gallery

Post 2/26/25: Extended into March, don’t miss artist Christa Grenawalt’s painting exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in San Francisco. Built over an early sea wall, the gallery is a reminder of the ephemeral nature of the Bay: what was once water may become water again. Grenawalt is a California-based artist whose work explores the dynamic relationship between natural forces and inner landscapes. “These paintings were created outdoors on Mount Tiburon, using rainwater from the skies above Richardson Bay. Each piece captures the energy and transformation brought by precipitation, allowing the water itself to leave its own imprint.”

Visit the gallery! Closing Reception – March 7, 5:00–8:00 PM; Children’s Event – March 8, 3:00–5:00 PM
