Throughout his career, Thomas Kinkade
developed and trained artists with the intent of
continuing his legacy of Sharing the Light™.
He was involved in nurturing and sharing his
passion for art with colleagues and the younger
generations of artists in an effort to further
perfect and nurture his techniques and styles
and vision. This artistic mentorship of great
artists passing the flame of knowledge and
sharing skills is an age old tradition.
Throughout time, the atelier system was
foundational to the development of western art.
Atelier, meaning an artists studio for training
in fine art, is a long-standing commonplace
throughout the world. Leonardo da Vinci himself apprenticed under
Andrea del Verrocchio and belonged to the
Verrocchio Studio.
In this tradition of Master artists passing on
their experiences, Thomas Kinkade loved to
share his passion of art with a cadre of artists
and to train them in his creative process.

Thom had great excitement to exchange
ideas about art with his atelier and actively
trained and recruited this talented group.
This collaborative environment allowed Thom
to teach his methods with other artists and
impart to them the techniques, concepts and
vision that he was so well known and loved for.
The Thomas Kinkade Studio continues in the
path that Thom himself started and developed.
Thomas Kinkade Studio Artists painting the
true Thomas Kinkade style with great attention
to detail, a love of light and an overwhelming
appreciation of the way a picture can tell a
beautiful story. Carrying on the model Thom
himself had been driven to develop, Thomas
Kinkade Studios carries on the Kinkadian
tradition to create art that will stand the test
of time and be treasured for the ages.
Even as the Thomas Kinkade Studios creates new images in Thom's Master Style, Thom's personal archive contains many, many unpublished original works. Alternating with the newly created Studio images, The Thomas Kinkade company will continue to release these Original Thomas Kinkade Paintings for many years to come. It is our pleasure to continue to provide Thom's art and message to collectors and fans around the world and we sincerely thank each of you for Sharing The Light™.
