Thomas
Kinkade
grew up in Northern California in the small town of Placerville. Though
the family did not have wealth, Kinkade often says they were "rich
in the greatest form of wealth; a nurturing and affirming love."
His first "collector" was his mother, who would frame his
childhood drawings and use them to decorate the family home.

Kinkade has received numerous awards for his works, most recently the 1995 Lithograph of the Year Award and 1995 Artist of the Year from the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers and the 1994 Collector Editions Award of Excellence. He was honored, along with idol Norman Rockwell, as a charter inductee into The Bradford International Hall of Fame for plate artists. He is regularly featured in well-known magazines and as a guest on popular TV network shows and radio talk shows throughout the country. Further, Kinkade's paintings have been the subject of many art books. Thom named
his 4 daughters after famous artists. Do you know the artist's names?

Kinkade

in the greatest form of wealth; a nurturing and affirming love."
His first "collector" was his mother, who would frame his
childhood drawings and use them to decorate the family home. Thomas Kinkade is renowned for infusing light into his paintings, creating incredibly romantic and tranquil scenes. Known as "the Painter of Light," Kinkade has an almost uncanny ability to recreate dramatic effects of pictorial lighting in a way that makes the image seem to glow from within. This famous "Kinkade glow" might help explain Kinkade's enormous popularity as a published artist. Indeed the creations of Thomas Kinkade have become a phenomenon unprecedented in recent times, with countless millions of "Kinkade Collectors" worldwide. Kinkade has received numerous awards for his works, most recently the 1995 Lithograph of the Year Award and 1995 Artist of the Year from the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers and the 1994 Collector Editions Award of Excellence.
