Kathy Fincher: Female Norman Rockwell

LDSPMA/Kathy Fincher Season 4 Episode 18

Kathy Fincher creates meaningful artwork that moves the soul. She is renowned for her Norman Rockwell style paintings of children. Classically trained, her attention to details and lighting have earned her many international awards.  Fincher's painting, The Dream Keepers, was presented to the president in the Oval Office and later inducted into the permanent collection of the G.B. Bush Presidential Library.  For the city of Duluth, Georgia, Fincher designed The Dream Keepers 911 Memorial, featuring seven children using their handprints to restore the American flag, encased in glass and aged brick.  Her greatest work to date is the monumental bronze of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. where she captures his premonition of death with his eyes longing for heaven.
