Artist Comments
"This bold portrait of two young women evokes both confidence and the unbreakable bond that two sisters share," says artist Malia Pettit. "It's a painting inspired by the courage to face the adversities of life together, to support and to love one another through it all."

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.
