Keepers

You’re a Keeper shares the story of two brothers learning to fish. The older brother proudly holds a new rod and reel with a fully stocked tacklebox at his feet. It is doubtful he will catch anything, for his line is slack and knotted. His younger brother is fishing with the basics—a cane pole and bread ball. He is awarded a bouncing bobber with a bite and quickly learns that it’s no longer fishing when you have a bite!

I love to share a good fishing story, and this one sends the imagination beyond the excitement of getting the catch in the keeper bucket. The catch, of course, emanates from the hearts and souls of the young anglers, who are the real Keepers

Kathryn Fincher creates meaningful artwork that moves the soul. She is renowned for her paintings of children in the style of Norman Rockwell. Classically trained, her attention to detail and lighting are the source for many international awards and collections. Kathy’s paintings of children were deemed a national treasure when she received a Grammy Award for the Visual Arts by the Save the Arts Foundation.  Her painting, The Dream Keepers, was introduced in the Oval Office and later inducted into the permanent collection of the Presidential Library of G.W. Bush. Based on the painting, Fincher designed The Dream Keepers 911 Memorial, the largest children’s memorial featuring seven children restoring the American Dream by shaping the flag with their handprints.

Her most notable work to date is an 8’ bronze monument of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr; I’ve Been to the Mountaintop. Commissioned for Peace Park in Atlanta, Georgia by the National Monuments Foundation.  The grand scale work was unveiled in 2023 as the only monument of MLK talking to God.

Fincher’s hope is that the stories in her artwork will turn the viewer to their own children and realize they are gifts from above. Havenlight is proud to release from the personal archives of Kathryn Andrews Fincher, the spirit of childhood through one of America’s favorite children’s painters.
