A devout Christian and accomplished modern- day impressionist, Kinkade has received numerous national awards for his works.

On The Forest Chapel, Kinkade says “The Forest Chapel portrays a daydream I’ve had many times. Often while hiking some wooded terrain, I’ve come upon a spectacular flowering meadow and thought— what a wonderful place to worship God. A Holy Spirit dwells in the chapel and in the glade that houses it. Both proclaim the presence of God.”
