Mother Carries the Burden – Original Abstract Acrylic on Paper by Erin McGrath Rieke

About this Artwork

I created Mother Carries the Burden in 2019 using acrylic on reclaimed art paper. This 6.5 × 10 inch original is part of my Reflections and Turbulence Behind Tranquility series.

The piece explores the often-unseen emotional weight carried by those who nurture, protect, and care for others. Through layered paint, texture, and gestural movement, I sought to express the tension between responsibility and reflection, strength and vulnerability, love and sacrifice.

Mother Carries the Burden is a meditation on caregiving and the difficult balance between giving to others and sustaining oneself.
