About the Artist

Biography

Malti B Lee PhD (b. London, England, 1990) is a British Indian artist based in Austin, Texas. Drawing on her international background, Malti explores the cities she’s experienced through her acrylic paintings. In the last year, Malti’s works have been presented in solo shows and numerous group exhibits across San Francisco, Northern California and Texas. In 2023, Malti’s works included commissions for the NHL’s San Jose Sharks and the City of San Ramon, CA. 

With previous careers as a scientist then later as a management consultant, Malti has had the opportunity to live and work internationally. Upon moving to the US in 2022, Malti pivoted to a career as a full-time working artist, creating artwork directly influenced by her experiences working, living and travelling to 50+ countries globally. Today, Malti uses the skills she acquired through her previous careers to serve on the executive committees & boards of non-profit arts organisations.

Malti is an avid traveler, speaks Spanish, and is now learning Korean. She enjoys dancing salsa and bachata, hiking, cooking and reading in her spare time.

Malti is currently represented by the Julie Ahmad Contemporary Art Gallery in Austin TX.
