Duluth Artist to Speak, Paint at Sept. 20 Gathering

Homegrown artist Kathy Andrews Fincher will be speaking and painting at the Duluth Historical Society’s Tuesday, Sept. 20, gathering at 7 p.m. at the Historic . Judy Wilson, president of the Duluth Historical Society, invites the community to attend.

Fincher is considered one of today's leading inspirational artists, said Wilson. “Her focus is paintings of children, landscapes, still lifes, and more. Her work is found in lithographs, books, calenders, sculpture lines, greeting cards, inspirational giftware, journals, music boxes and more.”

During her talk, Fincher plans to paint a picture and donate it to the society. “We will be giving this wonderful gift as a door prize to some lucky member of our audience,” Wilson said.  

Fincher was born into a family of focused, determined and exceptionally artistic people, according to Wilson. “Her mother Margaret Parsons Andrews is a painter and visionary organizer who spearheaded a drive to raise funds to build and fund two fine arts centers, including a one-of-a-kind children's fine arts museum and school."

"Her aunt Ann Parsons Odum is particularly well known for her preservation of the history of Duluth through her paintings. We are very fortunate to have some of Ann's historic paintings in our Duluth History Museum.”
