About

Dr. Winfield Bevins is an internationally recognized author, artist, and leader. As a minister and an artist, he has been working at the intersection of art, faith, and the church for more than two decades. He is the founding director of Creo Arts, which is a non-profit that helps engage the world with beauty, goodness and truth through the arts. Winfield is also artist-in-residence at Asbury Theological Seminary where he champions the integration of art, theology, and mission. He has a master of divinity degree and a doctorate in the area of discipleship and spiritual formation. Over the past decade, he has helped start numerous initiatives and academic programs that have trained leaders from around the world. He frequently speaks at conferences, seminaries, and universities on a variety of topics and is a guest lecturer and affiliate professor at several academic institutions. He is the author of several books, including Liturgical Mission: The Work of the People for the Sake of the World, which was nominated for a Reader’s Choice Award (InterVarsity Press, 2022); Ever Ancient Ever New: The Allure of Liturgy for a New Generation (Zondervan, 2019); and Marks of a Movement (2019), which has been translated into Korean and Spanish.  Winfield’s work has been featured in various outlets such as Christianity Today, Publishers Weekly, Outreach Magazine, and Religious News Service.

He describes himself as a visual theologian and his artwork as “modern inconography” because it explores the intersection where the past and the present meet. He believes that we need new forms and expressions of ancient truths to speak to a new generation, that are connected to those who have gone before us, drawing fresh inspiration from the past for our faith for today through art. As an artist, he hopes that his art will invite viewers to slow down, reflect, and pray to God who is “ever ancient, ever new.” He and his wife have three daughters and live in Kentucky, where he has a studio and leads a local art guild.
