FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
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.

There are few things that stir the patriot’s heart more than the lyrics to “America, the Beautiful.” The song not only speaks to the beauty of this country but also to the providential blessings America provides its people. In my painting “From Sea to Shining Sea,” I try to capture the entirety of this sentiment; both the stunning visuals it evokes and the heart-felt conviction it relates. Indeed, everything from America’s purple mountain majesties to its alabaster cities gleam are part of the composition’s background. Yet, it is the historical accomplishments of Americans and the noble expansion of liberty that truly provide the thematic beat to this painting’s heart. And, of course, in the center of it all stands our flag, Old Glory, and the noble eagle as two symbols of our indivisible republic. I am proud of this country and blessed to call it home. It is with those acknowledgements, I present ‘From Sea to Shining Sea.’ I hope you enjoy it, and I thank you for sharing my adventures in art.
