In the Presence of Nature: Celebrating a Decade of Kathy Buist’s Artistic Vision

Updated: Jun 20, 2023


With great pleasure, Galerie d’Orsay is unveiling Kathy Buist’s latest exhibition, “In the Presence of Nature”! This show is particularly meaningful as we are also celebrating ten years of collaboration between the artist and Galerie d’Orsay, during which we’ve had the privilege of sharing her compelling vision with art lovers from around the world!


“In the Presence of Nature” takes viewers on a journey of communion and connection with the world around us. Kathy’s newest body of work is a celebration of the beauty and complexity of nature and her ability to capture its essence is truly remarkable. Her paintings transcend mere depictions of landscapes and environments; they are gateways to a deeper understanding of our place in the world and offer a temporary sanctuary where one can find solace and rejuvenation.




“Kathy’s instincts in handling paint, the way she merges one color into the next is brilliant. She lets us in on her process with brushstrokes, drips, and layers. Her ethereal skies slay me! Explosive one moment, calming the next. There’s a certain energy that I feel in Kathy’s studio. Time and again, I’ve heard that same sentiment from her passionate collectors over the past ten years.”

— Martha Folsom, Galerie d'Orsay Co-Director
