About the Item
Artist Comments
When asked about the subject of this painting, artist Malia Pettit described her as "bold, striking and intelligent." Malia says the title of the piece is more literal than one might expect. "It's as though the woman who dominates this painting - wearing a power tuxedo no less - has willed herself to life on the canvas, transcending the surface and invading the space of the viewer. She has the power to seduce and command attention wherever she is put on display."
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.

- Flower Girl, Oil PaintingBy Malia PettitLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
A dramatic contemporary portrait. The figure looks out with an intense, piercing glance, balanced by the soft flowers in her hair and gentle blue sky in the background. Artist Malia Pettit explains that the painting is a progression of both her palette and subject matter. "It has all of the elements of my female portraits - dramatic shadows, bold features and sharp contrasting. However, I contrasted these elements with the crown of soft, whimsical, loosely painted flowers to lighten things up. The painting has a geisha-like feel with the high collar and flowing florals."About the Artist
