The Lady of the Lake is perhaps one of the most mysterious and ambiguous characters in Arthurian folklore.  Although she is commonly accepted as being the leader or ruler of Avalon, her character has been attributed with other actions as well.

The story of her beguiling Merlin is most often attributed to the name Nimue.  While she is a student of Merlin, he becomes enamored of her and falls under her spell, both figuratively and literally.

She convinces him to teach her his magical secrets, withholding her love until he does so.  However, she uses the power and magic from these secrets to trap him in a tree trunk or cave, depending on the version.  She is certainly portrayed as an antagonist, as she takes Merlin away from Arthur and the good of Camelot.

The wizard Merlin has fallen in love with ‘a lady of the lake’, Nimue, whom he taught some magic secrets. This piece is inspired by ‘The Lady of the Lake’, an enchantress in the Matter of Britain, the body of medieval literature and legend associated with King Arthur.

An encouraging and powerful abstract creation. This subtle and gentle piece of art has a spiritual message to it.
