Thais Beltrame (Brazil)
Born and raised in São Paulo, Brasil, Thais Beltrame tried unsuccessfully to rebel against her artistic calling before giving in and enrolling in art classes at City College of San Francisco. Her artwork is inspired by past and present observations. Using only black and blue ink on white paper, with the occasional employment of the “wild” nib, Beltrame’s calm, efficient brushstrokes make her subtle images come alive with an extraordinary power.
Beltrame has exhibited her work in the United States, United Kingdom, and Brazil. She has also illustrated several children’s books.
