Images in Ink

Images in Ink, a university creative arts publication through the Department of English and Humanities, strives to highlight the artistic contributions of the Faulkner family, her poetry, prose, art, and photography, and for good reason. Art, in a more general sense, remains a uniquely human activity, and of course, anything that concerns the human person must ultimately concern what it means to be human in Christ.

Images in Ink: A Historical Timeline

1981

Ms. Beverly Nall Pace, from Faulkner's English department, founded Images in Ink to give artistically gifted students a platform for expression.

Early Years

With no budget, sponsors solicited donations to publish the magazine. Despite challenges, the publication appeared almost every year.

Growth

As Faulkner University grew, so did Images. The university began funding the magazine, and submission opportunities expanded to include faculty and staff.

Modern Era

The magazine now benefits from professional graphic design, a larger review staff, and continues to evolve under the English and Humanities Department.

Aim of the Publication

Images highlights the artistic achievements of the Faulkner family—students, staff, faculty, and alumni—in a free spring publication. It seeks to contribute to the arts through a Christian lens, viewing the magazine as a form of mission work that affirms the human experience in Christ.
