Thomas Kinkade, the Painter of Light(TM), emphasized simple pleasures and inspirational messages through his art--and the branded products created from that art. From textiles, to collectibles, to music and books, Thom believed that both the ability and the inspiration to create his paintings had been given to him as a gift. His goal as an artist was to touch people of all faiths and to bring peace and joy into their lives through the images he created.
