The Reverend Howard Finster was born in 1916 in Valley Head, Alabama.
Reverend Finster is one of the country’s most talked about white, outsider artists and he is best known for his sermon art and for his Paradise Garden environment(refer to illustration #1) which is an ongoing expression of his religious convictions.
Finster makes art out of nail heads, gourds, bottles, mirrors, plastic, snow shovels and even an old cadillac, however the majority of his works are usually made out of plywood or heavy canvas with the works ranging in size from a few square inches to 8-9 feet in height.
