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 words that bring more excitement to a child’s heart than a parent’s morning announcement of a “snow day”. School has been canceled and there is nothing to do but sled down hills, build snowmen and pummel your siblings in a snowball fight. For children, it is a day of unbridled joy. For parent’s, however, it can be trying. Work still needs to be attended while kids slog in and out of the house changing closes, wanting hot chocolate and generally creating confusion. In my work, “Snow Day” we find that this tradition of family dynamic spreads even to the animal kingdom. A bear cub looks back at his mother wondering if he can find a playmate to enjoy the frosty day. The mother looks down with a loving patience, knowing that there still is forging to be done before the two might enjoy a winter’s hibernation. As all families do, a compromise will be met between play and the practical so both mother and child will realize the fruits of their snow day together. I hope you find some nostalgia in this snap shoot in the life of a family and, as always, I want to thank you for sharing my adventure in light.
