Quote
1
I view art as an inspirational tool. People who put my paintings on their walls are putting their values on their walls; faith, family, home, a simpler way of living, the beauty of nature, quiet tranquility, peace, joy hope. They beckon you into this world that provides an alternative to your nightly news broadcast.

On opening Thomas Kinkade Community in Vallejo, California: When Walt looked out over his citrus grove and envisioned Disneyland, it wasn't real to him yet. When he walked down Main Street, it became real. So is this moment for me.
