Our Story

Drawing has always been my passion and God-given talent. Art has always been my source of responding to the world around me. It is a great communicator of one’s durable feelings and concepts.

As a child, I was thrilled to be asked to draw for my classmates. Studying art history and studio art classes influenced me in joining art clubs and participating in art competitions. In college, my art skills provided a small income for a struggling student. Art was my vehicle of self-expression.  My cry asserts "Here I am! This is who I am.”

Most artists have a similar history, but God-inspired and Spirit-filled artists have more. Those artists offer their God-given talents as a form of service to the God who anointed them with creative abilities. Before I pick up the pencil or paintbrush, I ask the Lord to anoint and bless my mind, my hands, and my eyes to produce an inspiring work of art. Period!

My abilities, talents, and yes even my supplies are from God.

Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

God has called me to an inspirational service in His Kingdom.   Our Mission Is Clear: Givens Inspirational Graphics Is An Artistic Link Between Heaven And Earth.
