Who is Cristy Thom?

Cristy Thom, also known as Li-Wah Thom, was born on born September 8, 1971 in Los Angeles, California. Her life is as intriguing and interesting as her paintings. An American model, actress, and artist; who has acted in many Playboy videos, and movies like Meatballs 4 (name was wrongly spelled in the cast) and Best of the Best 2.

Though she has left the life of acting and modelling, she is a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). Presently, she is an artist, painter, and an owner of the champion show dogs. She practically never had a steady job, although when young (18-20 years), she modelled bathing suits and was a playboy centrefold. She had an opportunity to travel in the world and got a chance to act in Hollywood low-budget movies and TV-commercials. She could have been exploited due to her good height-5 6 (1.68 m) plus her immaturity in thinking that as a teenager she could take her own decisions, for she was in a live-in relationship with a 41-year man after dropping out of ninth grade. Painting was her outlet and communication medium with the environment. She did her Bachelor of Fine Arts graduation from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, California, USA. Her photo-realistic abstract paintings mesmerizes you, as her sharp eye for detail, colour, and design coupled with her life lessons have transferred all her inner turmoil/feelings to the canvas. The painter and the canvas have become one and tell their story together.
