Malia Pettit

Valentino Peep Toe, Oil Painting

2023

Artist Comments
A sexy pastel pink stiletto exudes elegance against a lavender background. An oversized bow on the front adds a playful touch to its sophisticated design. The sleek contours and glossy patent leather command attention. The artwork comes with a matte white wood frame, measuring 1.5 inches deep and 0.75 of an inch thick.

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.
