Manon Alice Lee, the artist behind Mal., is a Sydney-based painter and illustrator whose work drifts between the poetic, the peculiar, and the deeply personal.

Her art has travelled from small Northern Beaches studios to exhibitions in Seoul, New York, and Sydney, collected by those who connect with her soft surrealism, her birds, and the tender, detail-driven worlds she creates.

Painting birds since age eleven, Manon blends fine art technique with an instinct for storytelling shaped by her background in music, writing, and acting. Her practice spans intimate portraits, fantasy illustrations, and collaborative commercial projects.

Mal. functions as both a fine art studio and a creative partnership space; offering original artworks, limited-edition prints, commissions, business illustrations, and a growing line of indie merch. Across every medium, Manon’s goal is simple: to create pieces that feel like secrets you get to keep, and collaborations that feel personal rather than corporate.
