Natacha Thys

Natacha Thys is a Haitian-American, lawyer-turned-artist. After practicing human rights law for many years, she began painting in 2011 after a dream seeing her grandmother and flashes of color. She believes her grandmother and other ancestors provide a living presence in her deeply spiritual paintings. Her style suggests a reinterpretation and merging of color field abstraction, cubism and impressionism. She has studied painting, pottery, interior design and art history with a variety of art institutions and programs in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, including the Corcoran School of Art and Design and the Virginia Art League.

Natacha has been exhibiting her work since 2012 and her work was reviewed and featured in the Washington Post in 2015 and 2016. She continues to exhibit regularly in Washington, DC and New York City, where her work in included in both private and public collections. In December 2014, she was juried into the Foundry Gallery, one of DC’s most established member operated galleries. Selected works are also currently represented by Hermitage Gallery.
