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

December 2020, I have been exploring animals ( a house cat is coming....), and especially wall paper back grounds. I love repetition and patterns and using stencils. That is a common motif in my paintings. I honestly don't care who likes my work. I have to like it and I am the toughest critic.
