MEET THE ARTIST

Thomas Kinkade Studios

Thomas Kinkade, the famed “Painter of Light,” loved to share his passion for art and his creative process with other artists throughout his career. Thom believed in supporting artist development and exchanged ideas with artists. Through this collaborative environment, Thom passed down his methods and imparted the techniques, concepts and vision for his signature Kinkadian style.Today, the artists of the Thomas Kinkade Studios apply many of the same techniques created and used by Thom during his lifetime; from sketching to digital and oil brushwork, to image recapture and his use of light. Over time, these mastered skills have evolved into a Kinkadian style of art adored by art collectors around the world.

TIMELESS HOME DECOR

Every year children around the world make their Christmas wish lists for Santa. A visit to the local toy store can inspire and fuel their imaginations and spark creativity. People, young and old, are drawn to the display windows of toy stores, and are especially captivated by the movement of the train displays. Lionel Trains has been bringing this joy, innovation, and wonderment to children and adults for 12 incredible decades. Thomas Kinkade Studios presents A Christmas Wish, our collaboration with Lionel Trains in celebration of their 120th Anniversary, which includes a very special tribute to Joshua Lionel Cowen, Founder of Lionel Trains. His beloved and highly collected trains are featured in the main display corner window at Joshua’s Toy Store. Thomas Kinkade Studios is proud to partner with Lionel Trains to create lasting memories for our collectors and their families, in hopes that every Christmas wish comes true.
