Khatri was born in New Jersey USA in 1972 and received a BFA in Surface Pattern Design from Syracuse University. She began her career in New York as a textile designer before moving into interior design. Her years of experience designing furniture, carpets, and wall coverings have had a profound impact on her artistic practice and its influence can be seen through the processes she employs today.

Her work focuses on abstraction with an emphasis on experimenting with materials, pattern and colour with hidden undertones of spirituality. Repetition, process, and order are central to her practice. She has an acute sensitivity to materials and methods which enhance the meditative and spiritual nature of each composition. Through exploring repetition and discovering disciplined systems of mark-making, she finds a wellspring of creativity and personal transformation within each work she makes.

Khatri lives and works in West London. She was recently commissioned to produce a large scale work for the lobby of The July Hotel, based in Amsterdam. She has previously exhibited at The Ubicua Gallery (London), Finch Cafe (London), AKA Contemporary, (Cambridge), and The Lido Stores (Margate).

In 2022, she was shortlisted for the VAA Artist Prize and has previously exhibited at The Other Art Fair (London), BWAC Pier Show 7 (Brooklyn, NY), and New York University’s coveted small works show.
