Thomas Kinkade
THOMAS KINKADE — Thomas Kinkade is America's most collected living artist. He is a a painter-communicator whose tranquil, light infused paintings bring hope and joy to millions. Kinkade began his career as a painter, selling his originals in galleries throughout California. In 1982, he married his childhood sweetheart, Nanette, and two years later they began to publish his paintings together.
Devoted to his wife and children, Thomas Kinkade strives to lead a balanced life committed to family values. He creatively fills his paintings with "love notes" by hiding the letter "N" in all his paintings as tribute to his wife Nanette. His four daughters also find their own messages of love from their father as their names and images often appear in many of his paintings.
Thomas Kinkade uses his artistic gift as a way to spread the life-affirming values he embraced during his formative years.
