Author Eric Kuskey has taken the meteoric rise-and-fall story of the Painter of Light and his corporate art empire and woven it into a compelling morality tale about one man's doomed quest for beauty and peace. Billion Dollar Painter is a stage filled with larger-than-life characters and extraordinary events, but the star is always Kinkade, whose empire, and whose life, crumbles around him due to his inability to cope with the real world and his own demons. A fascinating book. -- Laurence S. Cutler, AIA RIBA, cofounder and CEO, National Museum of American Illustration
