MEET THE ARTIST

Thomas Kinkade

Thomas Kinkade, the Painter of Light™, emphasized simple pleasures and inspirational messages through his art – and the branded products created from that art. From textiles, to collectibles, to music and books, Thom gave credit to a higher power for both the ability and the inspiration to create his paintings. His goal as an artist was to touch people of all faiths, to bring peace and joy into their lives through the images he had created. Thom’s dearest wish had always been that his artwork would be a messenger of hope and inspiration to others – a message to slow down, appreciate the little details in life, and to look for beauty in the world around us. As millions of collectors around the world sit back and enjoy his artwork in their homes, there is no doubt that Thomas Kinkade had indeed achieved his goal of Sharing the Light™.

TIMELESS HOME DECOR

I love Carmel. The town looks like it was invented by artists, which, in a sense, it was. Galleries are everywhere. The houses are incredibly picturesque, and when I set up my easel on one of the boulevards, I'm just doing what so many painters do every day.

The Kinkade family is as fond of Carmel as I am; my girls were with me on the sunny afternoon when I painted TUCK BOX TEA ROOM, CARMEL. It's a thoroughly charming little spot - with scones and tea cakes that just melt in your mouth. On this particular day, Chandler, I believe it was, said to me, "Daddy, is that the gingerbread house? You know, the one Hansel and Gretel tried to eat?"
