Fiery Sunset

Alma Woodsey Thomas was an American painter who developed a distinctive abstract practice centered on color relationships and rhythmic geometric patterns. Working primarily in acrylic, she created compositions of small, interlocking brushstrokes arranged in grids and radiating forms that evoke natural phenomena such as flowers, water, and light. Her work emerged from a sustained engagement with color theory and the formal possibilities of non-representational painting. Thomas continued to refine her practice into her later years, producing increasingly luminous and expansive compositions that balance precision with expressive intensity.
