BIOGRAPHY:
By the age of 8, Misia Broadhead already knew that she wanted to be an artist, a painter. Born in Washington, D.C., she had been living in Rome since the age of 4, and the culture, history and art had already impressed itself upon her.It continued to do so during her next 26 years of residence there. Living in the place where the Renaissance began makes an indelible impression.Misia would return to the United States annually to visit her grandmother, Gladys Tartiere, at Glen Ora, the property that was once the Kennedys' Middleburg retreat. The property was eventually inherited by Misia's mother, Elaine Broadhead. After Misia married Anthony Barham, they moved to Glen Ora, where they lived until recently.More than murals, Misia paints landscapes, birds, allegories, informal portraits and other scenes. Her allegories, while secular, derive from the idea incorporated in religious paintings of telling stories to an illiterate populace. This illustrates the influence of her time in Italy.Misia's work can be seen at the Middleburg Antique Emporium and at The Inn at Little Washington.
