Empty Nesters

Celebrating a New Chapter

This piece celebrates a couple in their new life stage as empty nesters: getting to practice tai chi, learn new things, and connect with Mother Earth through hiking, camping, exploring national parks, taking trips with their pet parrot, and seeing the world through eyes of wonder.

The overarching themes of this piece for me were freedom, exploration, spontaneity, and taking flight.

A celebration of each stage of life’s journeys. An act of gratitude, reflection, celebration, transformation, and illumination.
