MACKINAC ISLAND
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.

TIMELESS HOME DECOR
In the Straights of Mackinac and at the juncture of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron exists the Old Mackinac Point Light, a once proud sentinel warning passing ships of rocky danger as they steamed by the island on which it was constructed. Built in 1892 but still abiding on Mackinac Island as a tie to its historic past, the structure is beautiful and well worth my efforts to capture it in oil. I did not stop there, however. Its surroundings are so impressive that I decided to paint beyond the simple light and attempted to capture the island more in its entirety. The Mackinac Bridge, “Big Mac,” spans the straight connecting the once far-removed coastlines of Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas. The beauty and size of this suspension is unrivaled. And should you desire to take it all in with afternoon tea, the is no grander place than on the porches of the hotels on Mackinac. I love to travel and share my experiences. I hope you enjoyed this one. Go to Mackinac Island and relax, eat fudge, and enjoy the romance. And, as always, thank you for sharing my adventures in art.
