Books by T M Givens

"Garden Prayers: Fall" is the fourth collection of drawings made at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden (now the California Botanic Garden) in Claremont and in Upland, California. As artist T.M. Givens states, "I think I've been producing a self-help book... you know, one that just comes alive or makes you come alive as you read it."

"Garden Prayers: Summer" is the third collection of drawings made primarily at the Botanic Garden in Claremont. These are, as artist T.M. Givens states, "still based on the idea that they are prayers ... what about if I don't have enough good words to let you know what I believe or that I'm thinking ... can you understand that well enough?"

"Garden Prayers: Spring" is the second collection of drawings made at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont and in Cambria, California. These are "still part of the meditation I experience while looking at or experiencing or talking to or wondering about or thinking of these living places," says artist T.M. Givens.

"Garden Prayers: Winter" is a collection of 20 drawings made at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont, California. These are "conversations with the living things in this living place," says artist T.M. Givens.
