I'm a warrior for light.

I grew up in a broken home. My dad was out of the home when I was five years old. I never knew him very well.

My brother and I always had jobs and worked from a young age.

People who put my paintings on their walls are putting their values on their walls: faith, family, home, a simpler way of living, the beauty of nature, quiet, tranquillity, peace, joy, hope. They beckon you into this world that provides an alternative to your nightly news broadcast.

The concept that an artist would be revered by popular culture is an immediate dismissal of his relevance as an artist.

I think the art world... is a very small pond, and it's a very inbred pond. They rely on information from an elect elite sect of galleries, primarily in New York.

Thomas Kinkade

The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting. I think getting beyond the four edges of an opportunity or challenge is one of the basic skills you need in business.

Thomas Kinkade

I try to embrace people with love, unconditional love, like Christ did.

Thomas Kinkade

It is easy to have a lot of paintings or projects hanging around that are 'almost done.'

My paintings always feature trails that dissolve into mysterious areas, patches of light that lead the eye around corners, pathways, open gates, etc.

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.

Thomas Kinkade

I was always the kid who could draw. I had this talent, and it was the one thing that gave me some kind of dignity in the midst of my personal environment.

Thomas Kinkade

I share something in common with Norman Rockwell and, for that matter, with Walt Disney, in that I really like to make people happy.

Thomas Kinkade

A still image attracts the viewer with an overall impact, then reveals smaller details upon further study.

Thomas Kinkade

Rather than set aside daily time for prayer, I pray constantly and spontaneously about everything I encounter on a daily basis. When someone shares something with me, I'll often simply say, 'let's pray about this right now.'

Thomas Kinkade

I'm working on a snow scene right now, and it's summer. It's hot, and I will get chilly. I'll have to turn on the heat. My wife walks in, and it's 95 degrees in the studio. I know it's nutty, but it's a projection you have where you step into the painting.

Thomas Kinkade

When I got saved, God became my art agent.

Thomas Kinkade

What I paint touches on foundational life values. Home, family, peacefulness. And one of the messages I try to constantly get across is, 'Slow it down and enjoy every moment.'

Art is forever.

The No. 1 quote critics give me is, 'Thom, your work is irrelevant.' Now, that's a fascinating, fascinating comment. Yes, irrelevant to the little subculture, this microculture, of modern art. But here's the point: My art is relevant because it's relevant to 10 million people. That makes me the most relevant artist in this culture.

Thomas Kinkade

I've never been at odds with the world of contemporary artists. If there is any animosity, it's one-sided.
