Navya Mallepeddi (b. 1995, Kakinada, India) is a Denver-based oil painter whose representational work is inspired by everyday life. Originally an actuary, she transitioned to art after moving to the U.S. in 2021, studying at the Boulder School of Fine Art and Art Students League of Denver. Navya’s practice is rooted in observation. She has exhibited work in several galleries in Colorado and is a 2025 Emerging Artist Resident at the Denver Art District on Santa Fe. Her debut series, 'Foreign', explores the experience of living in the West.
