POE'S PARK
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
It is often said that dogs are "man's best friend," and there are times, at least, when I would be hard-pressed to argue against the sentiment. I grew up with pet dogs, and each was a lovable member of my home and family. Buster, a Great Pyrenees, was my first, and he truly was a gentle giant. Buster used to lay on the lawn while wild rabbits hopped around him. He seemed to enjoy their company. Then came Apollo, a golden lab and Shetland pony mix, who also was a canine wrecking machine. He once ate the windows in my house, trying to get outside to look at a wayward bird. To say the least, my father was not pleased.
Now I have Keanu, a Siberian whose major goal in life is to play anything with anyone at any time, and my brother lives with Poe, the pug. This small pooch has a large character and is a small celebrity in collector circles as his face is unforgettable. He also makes routine guest appearances in my published paintings.
Poe's Park is an homage to all of our four-legged barking companions. Though often into trouble, it is hard to imagine a truer heart than in our furry best friends. Look carefully or miss some fun tributes to our favorite canines. And, as always, I want to thank you for sharing my adventures in art.
