Mixed media on wooden cradled boards, 6 by 6 and 8 by 8. 2021

“From here on I can’t go with you, Mom….Good luck!!!”

“In my thoughts I am with you, Mom!”

“Out of the woodwork of my mind”

“Family, yes, but there are worlds between us”

“Really???”

“Oh, the myth of the happy family…”

“Family myths, not reality”

“I say NO to your musts, shoulds and have-to’s”

“OMG, you are all family?”

“Another day, another fall”

“The whole Miedema clan is watching over you, Mom”

“I’ll help you up, if I can”

“OMG, there are cobwebs on the ceiling”

“Tell me all your stories”

“Remember how Ed saved me from starvation in 45?”

“A formidable family”

“I know you! I am you and you are me!’
