n
July of 1995, at the age of sixteen, Shane Kindschi sat in the courtyard
at Biltmore House and completed the master work of art. The two lions
guarding the front door of Biltmore House were drawn last, just before
the work was signed. For Biltmore Estate’s Centennial, Shane presented
his drawing to William A. V. Cecil, Biltmore’s owner, who permanently
instated it into the Biltmore Estate Archives, where it has been kept
since. nitally
released in 1998, Shane’s prints have been circulated
to all 50 states and over 70 countries, and has received
international acclaim. In 2000, Shane specially signed over
100 prints for the cast and crew of “Hannibal”, which was
partially filmed at Biltmore Estate. The print is used in
homes and classrooms around the world to inspire young
artists to draw. |
