The de Young/Legion of Honor Museums of SF (Virtual Wednesdays on YouTube) presents: Cynthia Tom – Haute Couture, Cultural Heritage, and Ancestral Healing as art mediums. To supplement the Legion’s Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy Exhibition
A SF native visual artist, Cynthia has worked from her intuition for over 30 years. Her paintings are visual proposals, engaging viewers to challenge the status quo and imagine a world where women feel empowered and wonder is commonplace, and curiosity and failure encouraged.
