In a review in The New York Times of Eggebrecht's solo show at Gallery Sixtyseven, Roberta Smith wrote that Eggebrecht her art "favors empty landscapes, whose roiled grass is meticulously rendered and dotted with wry contradictions and bits of Americana."[5] Another reviewer, John Haber, feels that Eggebrecht's paintings tell detailed, if disturbing, stories.[6] Much of her art is small-scale and she favors a faux-naive or surreal style.[7]
Eggebrecht has worked as a painting instructor at Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University and as an assistant professor of Art at Carnegie Mellon University.[8]
