About Belóved Gallery
Our Story
A seed for Belóved Gallery was planted when its co-founders, Lewis and Kirsten, acquired Akiane Kramarik’s world-renowned painting, Prince of Peace. Captivated by the supernatural account surrounding its creation and astounded by the hope the painting inspires, they knew Prince of Peace was meant to be shared with the world. They dreamed about creating a space where a million people could have their own experience with the painting, thus amplifying Akiane’s message of unwavering faith, unconditional love and eternal life. They chose Marble Falls, Texas, as the site for Belóved Gallery.
Thus, the Belóved brand was born.
From this vision, Belóved Studios emerged—the creative arm of Belóved Gallery devoted to revealing God’s love through art, story, and technology. Through initiatives such as Gamáliel and the immersive short film Akiane: Invisible to Visible, Belóved Studios extends the Gallery’s mission beyond its walls—inviting people everywhere to experience the transformative power of art and innovation.
