Acrylic and paper on birch panel | 12 x 12 inches | 2025 | $350

This painting began as Roots and Wings, created at a bittersweet moment in time, as my sons prepared to leave home. Now, as part of my Second Chance series, it celebrates the enduring love, joy, and pride that remain when life shifts. Layers of paint echo the way hearts continue to grow, even as children fly, revealing both the fragility and strength of connection.

Nest Empty, Heart Full will resonate with anyone who has experienced change, who cherishes family, or who finds beauty in transformation. Explore companion pieces Neighbourhoods of the Heart and Hearts Take Flight to see how this story of love and growth continues.

Comes mounted in a solid wood, contemporary tray frame.
