Every piece of art has a chance to be understood, valued, and carried forward as a gift to the future. At Lignia, we believe artists are never done. Their work continues to speak, inspire, and grow into the future—and we exist to make sure that story isn't lost. Learn more about our artwork management platform and legacy planning workshops.

"I watched my 85-year-old artist father in his studio, surrounded by decades of work—paintings, sketches, sculptures—and I realized: someday, this will all become my responsibility. How do I honor his legacy? How do I know what matters most? How do I keep his story alive?"
Lignia was born from this deeply personal experience. As the daughter of a working artist, I understood that families often inherit not just artworks, but overwhelm, uncertainty, and the weight of preserving a lifetime of creativity.
We exist to transform that experience—to turn what feels like a burden into a beautiful process of discovery, preservation, and celebration. Because every artist's garden deserves careful tending, and every family deserves the tools to nurture that legacy.
