Limnaie & Lilaia
Still water and living source
Limnaie and Lilaia share a quiet kinship—one the keeper of stillness, the other the bearer of beginning. This paired work holds the dialogue between rest and renewal: water that remembers, and water that arrives.
Limnaie settles the gaze. Her presence is reflective, hushed, lake-deep—light resting rather than moving. Lilaia answers with gentle vitality, a spring’s clear promise, brightness rising softly from within. Together, their layered surfaces breathe—wax and image meeting like memory and motion in calm accord.
They belong in spaces that value balance: rooms for reflection and return, where calm is anchored and renewal feels close at hand.
The Myth
In Greek mythology, Limnaie is a freshwater nymph of lakes and quiet inland waters—guardian of stillness, depth, and contemplation. She embodies the peace that gathers where movement slows, where water holds rather than carries away.
Lilaia is a Naiad of springs and clear sources, often associated with the life-giving waters near Delphi. She represents origin and continuity—the moment water first rises into the world, pure and sustaining.
Together, Limnaie and Lilaia tell a story of water’s full grace: repose and emergence, sanctuary and source. Their myth honors the cycle by which calm nourishes renewal, and renewal returns us gently to calm.
A one-of-a-kind mixed media original, luminous and tranquil as a whispered tide.
Created through a process that merges modern photography and printmaking with the ancient art of encaustic, layers of molten beeswax, oils, and resins are built up and fused with fire. The textured surface invites touch, its translucent depth suggesting both concealment and revelation. A one-of-a-kind encaustic mixed media painting — where photography, molten beeswax, and oils merge to reveal a serene underwater world. Layers of texture and translucency create a luminous depth that can only be achieved through fire and time.
Each work is individually crafted, an original. Based on photography and each different, the colors or sizes may be similar yet unique.
Photography, fine printmaking, and archivally adhered to cradled wood panel, various fine art mediums including pan pastels, oil paint, and encaustic
