About the Artist
Hi, I’m Everett Kinkade Smet
I live in rural Northern California, making ceramics and enjoying many creative pursuits on my homestead. I love to grow food, raise animals, and cook with my husband. I teach ceramics and enjoy encouraging creative freedom and connection through my workshops.
My art draws inspiration from joyful moments spent outside, and explores themes of earth-connection and transformation. I make functional work that enhances the experience of enjoying fresh local food with your loved ones.
I am working to marry my passions for growing and making ceramics by pairing my pottery with goodies from our homestead.
My Maker’s Mark
My maker's mark features my initials which form the shape of a butterfly, representing metamorphosis. I believe metamorphosis occurs on a personal level through the transformative power of art and creativity, which is why I dedicate time to leading pottery and creativity workshops. Metamorphosis also occurs as a critical part of both ceramics and growing food, my two passions.
Kinkade Legacy
As the youngest daughter of Thomas Kinkade, I have discovered the same love of art that he had, and have self-taught various artistic mediums. I have three profoundly creative siblings and a mother who leads our family with strength and compassion. Our family honors my fathers legacy by making art accessible to all through the Kinkade Family Foundation.
