Thib exhibited in Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Australia, and she was commercially represented by the Leo Kamen Gallery, the Katzman and Joan Ferneyhough galleries. In 2008, an exhibition catalogue of her work with essays by Patrick Mahon and Suzanne Danis Légé was co-published by the Koffler Centre of the Arts and Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop's University.

Thib died in 2013 at the age of 58, after battling cancer for five years. She was survived by her partner Bruce Holland. The Katzman Gallery hosted a memorial exhibition, Imprint, in February 2014.
