History

Established in 1992.

«Studio in the Garden» is not just one of Thomas Kinkade’s paintings but the location of his first established public studio and developed into his first personally established Gallery in 1992. As Thom’s popularity grew he sold the Gallery to focus on his Art. Around February of 2012 Thomas Kinkade purchased the Gallery back making it the only Gallery in California, Thom’s home state, owned by the Corporation.

1 star for service. 5 stars for the location and ambiance of this studio.
While walking down the streets of Carmel by the Sea, I randomly noticed a GORGEOUS ally way entrance that had light rays shining down the path. This is the secret entrance to Thomas Kinkade’s studio — a painter that I have looked up to since childhood.
Upon entering into the cabin where a lot of his original art work is held, I found myself captured by his work. The space itself is small and is adjacent to an irrelevant jewelry store. The compact size of this cabin/​gallery makes the location of the art more intimate.
You’re able to buy some of his art from the gallery (for a high price, of course.) There were also prints and paintings of some of the work that he had previously done with Disney.
Although I tried to make conversation with the attendant, she was rather rude and didn’t tell me anything about his art. Minus one star due to the rudeness.
Even if you don’t know Thomas Kinkade, stop by this small gallery of some of his work to learn about him. His style is a huge influence on landscape painters, Christmas work, and Disney work. Come enjoy his work.

Wonderful lady who could answer all the questions about Mr. Kinkade and his work. They had two original prints and two original sketches. You can also buy many popular canvas prints. It is a small gallery, but not one to miss if you are a Thomas Kinkade fan.

~~Oh so that’s how Alice felt when she tell down the rabbit hole~~
Although I didn’t fall, I more walked through a mysterious ally way which was lovely. At the end I reached a lovely garden and a pathway leading right into the gallery which is inside a cottage.
TK’s paintings looking as good as ever. The curator was pleasant but relaxed.
Highly recommend.

We did not buy anything but the attendant was very pleasant and was more than happy to give us a history of this gallery location and what it meant to Mr. Kincade.
It’s ultra tiny but the space is full of eye pleasing beauty.
Hard to find, in fact we stumbled upon it while exploring one of the numerous garden walkways that help make Carmel-​by-​the-​Sea so special.

Stumbled across this gallery while shopping in Carmel-​By-​The-​Sea.
This gallery is somewhat hidden. There’s a small sign on the street that says Secret Garden and you follow a short pathway that leads to a quaint garden and art gallery. It’s a cute idea but unless you know about the gallery, you may miss it.
The staff was kind but didn’t talk much about the pieces or offer any assistance.
This is a cute little gallery, worth checking out if you are in the area.

i stumbled across this place on accident, I was wandering around with two of my gfs when we saw this beautiful garden path and we follow through with the stone walkway into this secret garden that leads us into a small thomas kinkade gallery. Its as if one of his pictures has came to life, in there I was greeted by an old man named Jack Moon, if you are here, you must have a conversation with him! this was 3 years ago and I still remember his name. He tells us stories of each painting and how kinkade would stop in and do shows sometimes and gave us a schedule on when to see the actual kinkade. He talked about how people were back then, how he loves carmel and how he has been married for over 60 years and that his wife also runs another thomas kinkade gallery around this area. A must visit for those who love beauuty

These people are crooks! Don’t go there! I paid for two paintings and they never shipped them to me. Now, no one answers the phone and no one will call me back. They have stolen $ 3000 from me. DO NOT LET THEM RIP YOU OFF! The only artists there are scam artists.

This Thomas Kinkade gallery is located through a small pathway behind a souvenir shop off ocean ave. You’ll walk through a small corridor with lots of plants and through small garden. The gallery itself is REALLY small (maybe 300 sq ft… if that). Its so small you can literally see everything in about 2 minutes.
Its a great pit stop to make and enjoy some art if you like Kinkade’s work.

I felt as if I was walking into a secret garden as I strolled down the walkway leading to the studio. This small Thomas Kinkade Gallery is almost hidden! Very cute studio with about 20-​plus potraits from the famous painter of light! Quite a number of them are of San Francisco!
