About the Artists

Legacy Artist Dirk Wunderlich
Dirk’s interest in drawing Disney characters came at an early age. In the early ‘80s, Dirk began to design advertising layouts and catalogs for Disney’s non-theatrical film rental division. That opportunity would lead to work on the launch of The Disney Channel. Years later, Dirk met Thomas Kinkade, who saw real talent and took him under his wing. After several years perfecting his techniques and styles—Dirk became a Thomas Kinkade Studios Legacy Artist.

Artist Zac Kinkade
Zac Kinkade—Thomas Kinkade’s nephew—was born in 1992 and has been passionate about art his entire life. Deciding that art was his calling, Zac attended the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Art. During this time, he began apprenticing at the Thomas Kinkade Company to explore his own aesthetic vision. He then graduated with honors from the prestigious school of art and architecture at Cornell University. Following in his uncle’s footsteps—and in service of his own life as a painter—Zac attended the internationally known Art Center School of Design in Pasadena.

Zac has taken a position as a publishing artist for Art Brands Studios. He is truly creating his own legacy with pencil and brush. While his originals have been sought after by collectors for many years, he began publishing his art in limited-edition format beginning in the spring of 2015.

Artist Allison Rook
Allison Rook grew up on the east coast of Florida not far from Walt Disney World Resort. As a child, Allison spent her days scribbling with crayons until these images came to life. She received her undergraduate degree in Business Sales/Marketing, and then later pursued her MBA in Information Technology Management from the Florida Institute of Technology. Allison’s family and friends play a significant role in her life, and she couldn’t have gotten to this point without their support. Allison always aspired to fulfill her dream of being an artist and is proud to be a member of the Thomas Kinkade family. She is excited to see her lifelong dream brought to fruition and to see how her relationship with art can grow in the future.

Artist Taylor Summerlin
Taylor Summerlin is an Orange County native, who lives and breathes art, writing, animation and storytelling. After graduating from Cal State University, Fullerton with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art/Animation, she went back to Fullerton College to obtain the Illustration Certificate and became the first recipient of the Storyboarding Certificate. She was hired at Titmouse, Inc. to be one of the Assistant Animatic Editors on AMC Plus’ first animated series, PANTHEON. Now as one of the sketch artists for Art Brand and Thomas Kinkade Studios, Taylor continues to expand her horizons and is excited to see what the future holds.
