Six Souls/Sentinels at the Gate Painting

Cheryl Eggleston's work is characterized by angles, lines, repeating patterns, and some circles for relief, reflecting her affinity for boundaries and structure. As an introvert, she finds solace in these elements, which provide comfort and familiarity amidst the chaos of the world. Her compositions are a means to work through her thoughts and ideas, inviting viewers to examine their own reflections. Some pieces offer a lighthearted, playful perspective on life from an introvert’s viewpoint. Eggleston begins by sketching patterns on paper, dividing space to focus her thoughts and allowing ideas to emerge. These sketches are then transferred to canvas, where she paints with alkyd and acrylics. Her process involves finding balance and harmony through smooth color fields, edgy transitions, and the interplay of angles and lines, with circles offering a sense of relief.
