Description

I am Michell “Mimi” Givens, and I love to paint, sketch, and create as a sacred hobby. I'm retired, married and in love with my husband Kevin. Grateful to be here, and to God be the glory!

My artwork shows my reverence for nature and people. I use oil on canvas, with a gesso base. First, I take photographs. Then I sketch in my journal, sketch again on canvas, use turpentine and oils to do a wash, and then finally begin oil painting. After drying for at least six months, I coat the painting with a Damar Varnish to make it shine, and to make the vivid colors pop. Thank you, and God bless!
