CHERYL EUGENIA BARNES

My Paintings. If I were to write an Artist Statement, it would be that you only have to have eyes to see, and a heart and a brain to enjoy my work.
I have been painting since I was nine years old, I was not formally trained, but eventually obtained a BA in Art History. When I paint, the inspiration is to see a reality that doesn't exist in the real world. My choice medium is oils. Thank you for taking the time to look at my art work.
Please email me for prices or any questions. Contact the artist, Cheryl Eugenia Barnes cheryleugenia@gmail.com

August 2020, the corona virus has made me more reticent on my artwork. I feel like I have reverted to my teenaged self where I felt insecure in my work. I am not sure why this is. Some of my happiest moments are when I am painting or drawing though, in the flow so to speak. Being an artist has been a Godsend in this tough time.
