about.html Dennis Finley grew up in alabama and still lives there today. He was the second child of three and never serious about anything. Dennis graduated from saks high school in 1970, then went to a junior college for a short while before droping out. That's about the time he really became serious about painting. Over the years he painted very little but always kept the interest and has now devoted all his time to painting. Well maybe not all his time because he really enjoys his small flower and vegetable garden in the spring and early summer.
