John Fincher's paintings of towering poplars, pine limbs set against crystalline skies, richly hued desert hillsides and cropped prickly pears unravel the manifold cultural meanings inscribed within representations of the mythic American West. This is the first comprehensive volume dedicated to Fincher's 40-year career.

Broken Wings & Mended Dreams is an inspirational story about a red bird named Rupert, born with a deformed wing and unable to fly. Rupert's success only comes after he accepts the friendship of his perceived enemy - that of a blue bird named Randolph. The story teaches hope, healing, reconciliation and peace.
