Let Freedom Ring

By Thomas Kinkade

Thomas Kinkade has always cherished the qualities that make America great. The Painter of Light radiantly imbues each piece of his art with tranquillity, love, faith, and family—all attributes of this great nation that has clung together through thick and thin. Now, in Let Freedom Ring, Kinkade has paired some of his most poignant paintings with magnificent words of freedom. The words of notable men and women from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln to John F. Kennedy to Katherine Lee Bates add an even greater inspirational touch to Kinkade's glorious art.

Thomas Kinkade

As America’s most-collected living artist, Thomas Kinkade has become a kind of Norman Rockwell for the new millennium. Kinkade has parlayed his background as a California family man and devout Christian to preside over a growing art empire that includes everything from books and prints to Bible covers and furniture fabric. Virtually unknown until the late 1990s, the self-described "painter of light" has seen his artistic talent develop into a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, a thriving website, a string of walk-in galleries, and a strong presence on the QVC home-shopping network. (A USA Weekend report noted that the artist’s share in the company stock was worth up to $30 million.) Because editions of his prints sell in the millions, an "original Kinkade" is a virtually unattainable object. He is a best-selling author and has illustrated such books as A Child’s Christmas at St. Nicholas Circle by Douglas Kaine McKelvey
