He is known by the nickname “The Painter of Light” because of the light that seems to emanate from his paintings. The light in his works represents the light of Jesus.

Thomas Kinkade Quotes

I view art as an inspirational tool.

Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage.

Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them.

I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators.
