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™.

“The accents of windows, flags and the distant dome of Saint Peter’s Cathedral contribute charm and regional interest to this riverside composition.” – Thomas Kinkade From my many conversations with Thom, I recall his enthusiasm as he talked about Plein Air painting. In Plein Air, or open-air painting, the natural light is always changing as the sun moves across the sky and clouds can play with this natural light. Thom always traveled with a small portable studio and was ready to paint at any time. Europe was a favorite destination for Thom and his family, and Italy with its rich vibrant architectural landscape seemed to pull at his artistic heart. Thom mused that he found it compelling how people would become fascinated with an artist at work and stop what they were doing to watch the artist create, be it on canvas or paper. Thomas Kinkade’s Rome, View of St. Peter’s is a wonderful moment in his travels captured on canvas. – Denise Sanders, Thomas Kinkade Historian
