The exhibition features the work of the Bay Area native Cynthia Tom and is curated by Shiva Pakdel. An opening reception will be held on Friday, November 11th from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. The exhibit is on view from November 8th to December 12th.

“At Madrigal, we love the idea of taking a second look, even a third, and spending time to contemplate the mysteries around us,” remarked Chris Madrigal, Madrigal Family Winery’s Founder & President. “We’ve always believed in the importance of individual expression and the need to take time to enjoy life’s pleasures. Our Sausalito Gallery and Tasting Salon, like our winery up in Calistoga, is a place to relax, sip a glass of wine and look around.”

Cynthia Tom’s paintings demonstrate the depth, strength, playfulness and complexity of woman’s spirit. “They say women are blessed with a 6th sense of knowing that comes from paying attention to the heart,” remarked Tom. “This is where spirituality and creativity connect and magic can happen. You can put yourself in different environments and dress up in different garments, your essential core remains the same. These paintings celebrate your core, your essence and what you bring to humanity.”
