About the Item
Artist Comments
A vibrant citrus wedge basks in the morning light. While slicing a lemon, the glossy pulp and the shadow beneath the fruit captivates artist Malia Pettit. The sudden burst of inspiration compels her to quickly capture the moment, resulting in a simple yet engaging composition.
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 resides in Louisiana after having lived in both California and England for several years. When she’s not painting, she is a full-time mom and enjoys exploring estate sales, antique stores and used bookstores.
