About the Item
Artist Comments
I am particularly proud of this piece as it really came together quickly without being rushed... as though it was just meant to be. The treatment of paint was more like drawing or sketching, much like the work of Elizabeth Peyton. There were moments when I felt obligated to apply more paint in my usual fashion. However, when I stepped away and saw the girl's face had come to life, I knew this piece was finished. She has that beautiful expression of childlike vulnerability, like a Bouguereau, but she is quite capable of taking care of herself. The painting is on a gallery wrapped canvas with white edges. It comes ready to hang.
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.

- New Horizon, Oil PaintingBy Miranda GamelLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
A stoic portrait of a cheetah looking out over a glowing sunset, with the animal's cool and collected pose amplified by the painterly surroundings. "This piece gives a sense of the calm before the storm - of inner peace," says artist Miranda Gamel. "The cheetah is looking out into the fast landscape, looking for a sign, all while knowing there will be one to find."About the Artist
The daughter of two artists, Miranda Gamel grew up with artistic aspirations. “When I was young, I couldn’t imagine that I would be anything else… it only seemed natural,” she says. She further developed her skills with her teachers (and fellow UGallery artists) John and Elli Milan. Miranda’s paintings exist on the edge of the surreal and the fantastical while remaining grounded in human emotion. Each painting, through its dynamic imagery, conveys the spirit embodied by the composition’s subject. Miranda’s ultimate goal is to portray each individual “being their true, raw, authentic self.”Words that describe this painting: cheetah, wildlife, big cat, desert, sunset, animal, calm, expressionism, animals, non-representational, oil painting, purple
