Gary and Kathwren Jenkins have been painting a long time—roughly a century combined. The Carson City pair is best known as the hosts of the popular PBS television series, “The Beauty of Oil Painting.” The two broke into the art world in the 1960s and ’70s. The couple met in 1980, each already laying claim to impressive résumés as artists. During the ’80s and ’90s the pair continued to share their passion for painting through teaching, instructional videos, art books, and “The Jenkins Art Studio,” which also aired on PBS.
The pair’s work can be found in numerous private collections throughout the country and galleries in Carmel, California. Among their many accolades is Gary’s distinction as one of the best floral painters in America. “The Beauty of Oil Painting” airs on KNPB Reno on Thursdays and Vegas PBS Rewind and Vegas PBS Jackpot on Sundays and Tuesdays, respectively.

I like the painting of Gary & Kathwren Jenkins. You have shared nice information. Thanks
HAVE TRIED TO LOCATE YOU ON TV. I HAVE DIRECT TV. WOULD YOU LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN GET YOU ON MY TV? OTHERS AROUND ME GET YOU. I PAINTED WITH YOU LONG TIME AGO IN CAPE CORAL, FL. WOULD LOVE TO AGAIN.
Mary, “The Beauty of Oil Painting” airs on KNPB, which is a local channel in the Reno-Tahoe area. You probably don’t get it. I would suggest contacting Gary and Kathwren directly:
