The inception of Lillunia took place in a nursery, with an original watercolor made to celebrate the birth of a certain baby during the feeding of that baby during her first months of life.
Sustenance.
What we know about our art, is that it is nurturing as it portrays animals in the wild nurturing their own babies. What is unique, is that Lillunia art nurtures both mother and baby.
Through endless hours of nursing her newborn, Eve, Lillunia's co-founder, was inspired, moved and, indeed, nurtured herself by the loving portrayal of a mother Giraffe and her young calf. There was something there, so tender and simple that spoke to her- that speaks to all of us, about nurturing our little ones and being a fundamental part of this great and glorious landscape of life.
At Lillunia we nurture parents and their children; our work places them in a context with other parents (elephants, dolphins, lions, horses, hippos, koalas)- all of whom share the world and love, protect and NURTURE their offspring.
Our art speaks to children, of course, they are our future, but our art first speaks to their parents...the nurturers of all that we collectively hope for.
ILLUSTRATE ILLUMINATE ELEVATE
