Reverend Finster was known as the grandfather of Southern Folk Art and the story centers around the renovation of his life's work, near Summerville, Georgia. Paradise Garden is one of the largest pieces of installation art in the United States and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Finster often called his work 'Sermons in Paint.' He was considered an outsider, using found and recycled objects to create his messages in art. The small town in Appalachia is using Howard Finster's legacy and an anomaly of self taught artists in the region, as an economic development tool, in one of the most depressed economies in our country. The film takes a global look through his work and examines the legacy of his unique life - showing how art is inspired, created, sold, collected, preserved, and reborn through inspiration.
