In Thomas Kinkade's works, he often described the natural world as God’s most magnificent cathedral. Thom truly believed that one could see the Creator’s visage in a mountain view, hear His voice in the gurgling of a brook, and sense His presence in a gentle mountain breeze. He felt that God, as experienced in nature, would surround the human senses and touch the eternal soul. Raised in the mountains, Thom held this belief from a young age and often returned there to communicate with God and receive His grace. He would then bring the inspiration back to the studio, using oil on canvas to reach out to all who loved his art. Indeed, Thom’s landscapes are spiritual artworks and his personal testament to the reality of God.
The Valley Chapel is no exception. This small historical church, built in the grandeur of Yosemite Valley, has been a spiritual haven since the late 1800s. In the distance, Half Dome towers above the chapel, putting man and our achievements in perspective within God’s vast universe. God is infinite in time, promising an eternal existence, and boundless in size, allowing us to glimpse all that is and all that will be. The massive granite monolith and the time it took to form contrast sharply with the history of man. We are humbled before God yet uplifted by His acceptance of our love. Thomas Kinkade Studios invites you to explore the beauty of Yosemite Valley, experience the boundless God in His most sublime creation, and feel the intimacy of His love in this small chapel nestled in the valley.
