Alma Woodsey Thomas (1891-1978) was an African-American artist and educator known for her abstract paintings that contributed to the Washington Color School movement. Born in Columbus, Georgia, Thomas moved to Washington, D.C., where she became the first graduate of Howard University's Fine Arts department and later earned a master's degree in art education from Columbia University.
Thomas's work is characterized by its vibrant color palette and rhythmic geometric patterns. She often drew inspiration from natural phenomena, translating them into abstract compositions that pulse with energy and movement. Her later works, such as the "Earth Paintings" series, are celebrated for their bold use of color and mosaic-like arrangements of shapes. Thomas's contributions to art extend beyond her painting, as she also had a long and impactful career as an art educator in the Washington, D.C. public school system.
