In this undated AJC file photo, Roy Finster, Alan Wilson, Michael Finster and self-taught Georgia artist Howard Finster (foreground) stroll the grounds at Paradise Gardens, the Summerville home and artistic creation of Howard Finster. A sign Howard Finster hand-lettered that once greeted Paradise Garden visitors made his mission clear: “I took the pieces you threw away — put them togather (sic) night and day. Washed by rain, dried by sun, a million pieces all in one.” - Text by Howard Pousner, AJC
