Thomas Kinkade was an American painter whose art often emphasized simple pleasures and inspirational messages. His goal as an artist was to touch people of all faiths and to bring peace and joy into their lives through the images he created. Known as the Painter of Light, his artwork hangs in an estimated one out of twenty American homes.
Nanette Kinkade is the coauthor (with her husband, renowned artist Thomas) of the books The Many Loves of Parenting, The Many Loves of Marriage, and The Many Loves of Christmas. She lives in Northern California with her four daughters.
