Craig McPherson was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1948. After receiving his BFA from the University of Kansas in 1970, he worked as a curator and lecturer for the National Endowment for the Arts, before moving to New York in 1975.
In 1983, McPherson had his first one-man exhibition in New York. McPherson next devoted his energies to printmaking, producing mezzotints of New York City at night.

In January 1987, the Harbors of the World mural cycle was initiated by American Express for the lobby of their New York WFC headquarters. This vast undertaking involved ten paintings 365 feet long by 11 feet high. The murals depict the harbor cities -- New York, Venice, Istanbul, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro and Hong Kong.
McPherson's works are in numerous museums and private commections.
