THE BIG EASY
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.

Travel has always been a major part of my life, and whether alone or with my brothers, father, or friends, I have visited most major American cities. And to be sure, on all of these urban adventures, I found each explored destination infused with its own unique excitement and community character. None, however, has more a recognized cultural identity than the ribald and joyous confines of New Orleans.
In my latest painting, The Big Easy, revelers fill the streets as a Mardi Gras parade dances by the city's famous balconies. The sound of jazz wafts through the crowds as beads are thrown, and concoctions of good cheer are hoisted in observance of Fat Tuesday. I smile, thinking of the thrill felt while being swept along in that wave of humanity. Look closely at the gathering and discover allusions to the Crescent City's most notable and notorious denizens. From pirates to piano players, they are all there as part of the envisioned festival and adding to the cacophony of sound it might create. I hope you all enjoy this visit to one of my favorite places, and thank you for sharing my adventure in art.
