Craig Beman began sketching in September 1999, following the launching of Healing Promises Ministries. At this time, and at the age of 46, he and his wife Peggy began full-time ministry, stepping out in faith from successful careers, to proclaim the Gospel across the United States.
 
 God gave Craig the gift of sketching and art, 40 days after he and Peggy launched into full-time ministry. Craig had no earlier formal instruction in art and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from the University of Nebraska in 1975.  He originally began simply making pencil sketches of his favorite interests, including western and other genres.  As he continued to develop his art, he began to paint with traditional oils as his favorite medium, with a realism focus on western and other styles.  Having grown up on a ranch in the Sand Hills of Nebraska, his inherent gifting finds its roots in the western and cowboy way of life.
 
 Simplistic, yet distinguished beauty of his art has innovatively produced images that closely resemble their original state for lasting inspiration and beauty. All net proceeds from the sale of CRAIG BEMAN ARTWORK are donated to Healing Promises Ministries, which has been established in helping pastors fulfill their ministries. His inspirational style has given a unique and yet fresh addition to art. The main virtue that Craig desires for all, is that we all can receive God’s greatest gift, his Son Jesus at any age, because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved …
