Thomas Kincade — American Artist born on January 19, 1958, died on April 06, 2012

William Thomas Kinkade III was an American painter of popular realistic, pastoral, and idyllic subjects. He is notable for the mass marketing of his work as printed reproductions and other licensed products via the Thomas Kinkade Company. He characterized himself as "Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light," a phrase he protected through trademark but one originally attributed to the British master J. M. W. Turner. It has been estimated that 1 in every 20 American homes owns a copy of one of his paintings... (wikipedia)

Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage.
People are reminded that it's not all ugliness in the world.
I view art as an inspirational tool.
I'm a warrior for light.
