About the Item
Artist Comments
"It's remarkable how a portrait can come to life in one's head even before a single stroke of paint is laid down," shares artist Malia Pettit. "In this way, 'Chatelaine' was a natural consequence of my imagination." This portrait was created while Malia studied the family, history, and art collections of the Croome Court, a mid-18th century Neo-Palladian mansion in Worcestershire, United Kingdom.
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.
