About the Item
Artist Comments
A soft, warm portrait of a woman wearing a lush floral headpiece. When asked about the character in the painting, artist Malia Pettit described her as beautiful, articulate and full of romanticism. "We could get lost in time looking at this woman, wondering who she is," says Malia.
About the Artist
Malia Pettit sees her artistic process as an act of “liberating the paint” and “allowing for the unexpected to occur.” Her portraits of women stem from a fascination with glossy magazines and their portrayal of models, actors and celebrities. Her work has been especially influenced by Chantal Joffe and John Singer Sargent. She currently lives in California after having lived in England for ten years. When she’s not painting, she is a full-time mom and enjoys exploring estate sales, antique stores and used bookstores.
