MEET THE ARTIST
Zac Kinkade
Zachary Thomas Kinkade, Thomas Kinkade’s nephew, was born in 1992 and has been passionate about art his entire life. Beginning when he was 11, Zachary began entering and winning national and regional art competitions and shows. Deciding that art was his calling, Zac submitted a portfolio to the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Art and was accepted to the school in preparation of formal university training the arts. During this time, Zac also attended Tarrant County College to study art and most significantly began apprenticing at the Thomas Kinkade Company to explore his own aesthetic vision. Zac continued these relationships while attending Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he eventually graduated with honors from that academy’s prestigious school of art and architecture.

THE PREMIER COLLECTION - LIMITED EDITION ART
Like my uncle and father before me I am drawn to the Smoky Mountains. There is so much to experience in that Tennessee wildland that it was a delightful challenge trying to capture it all on a single canvas. The magic haze found in discovered vistas, the mountain menagerie well met in the dense and colored fauna, and the hill-country culture expressed by the people who revel in the hills and hallows of this wooded surround all add to the joy of heart and the peace of spirit I feel while visiting. Black Bear Cottage attempts to translate my emotional tie and spiritual awakening to its viewer. From the old red truck and the wood carvers’ handcraft to the audience of critters sharing a home in my cabin to the spirits of nature held in the mist, all that make the Smokies so special are revealed for your examination. I hope this painting is an inspiration to those who have never visited this place and an affirmation for those who already have. The magic in these hills is real and a gift to those who will open themselves to it. Find the time, fill your heart and as always, thank you for sharing my adventures in art.
