Eckert is a visual artist, designer, and illustrator hybrid.
Her practice surrounds making automatic drawings on traditional, digital, and found 2D surfaces alike. In the studio, she creates vulnerable illustrative works
about how she sees, synthesizes, & digests the world. Themes of communication, consumerism, capitalism, culture, companionship, constructs, and consciousness
exist within Eckert’s work, and manifest directly in her symbology: clusters of figurative hearts, money, clocks, teeth, brains, crowns, televisions, missiles, phones,
figures, written text, and more. These icons, ultimately, act as vehicles through which the artist explores personal and global matters of materialism,
technology, love, womanhood, social media, patriarchal power, politics, and religious deconstruction (as they relate to her identity and body).
For Eckert, drawing and painting images & type — via digital and traditional processes — is a natural expression. Driven by an intense, spontaneous urge to render repetitive imagery on paper, found materials, and digital canvases, she makes to face, express, release, and heal. Life, therefore, serves as the subject matter for her art; making, then, is her catharsis. This exploratory function allows Eckert to investigate, question, and call attention to her criticisms, anxieties, curiosities, and interests of modern American culture, politics, society, and herself.
