Thomas Kinkade is America's most collected living
artist, and the adventure that he's taken to get
there is a fascinating and compelling story.
While growing up in the small town of
Placerville, California, the young Thomas Kinkade
embraced a series of simple life-affirming ideals
that later would shape his future and his art. As
a devout Christian, Thom uses his artistic gift
as a way to communicate and spread the
life-affirming values he embraced during his
formative years.
