Self-taught girl paints heaven
March 2, 2010 § 2 Comments
Akiane Kramarik, a self-taught 15-year old girl, started having vivid dreams of heaven at the age of 4, and soon started to paint what she saw in her mind. The results are amazing, and they’re even more remarkable given that her family were atheists and had never talked about God in their home. They reveal a world beyond our imagination, and a vibrant, growing talent.
She was featured on CNN at the age of 12, as you can see below, and she was interviewed by Oprah when she was 10. She has received numerous awards and prizes, and she will likely receive more, as her talent continues to improve with age.
Her website is artakiane.com. There’s also a Wikipedia page about her. Wonderful stuff!
I would love to know if I could buy the painting of the tree with light going through it. Do you make reproductions of your work? It inspires me so much and I need some inspiration after my husband had a stroke. He is healing slowly but it is alot of work. He has a good attitude about everything. The picture would make him and I feel good,
Julia, it’s NOT my work. I thought I made that pretty clear in the article. Click on the photo of the girl, or click on the link at the bottom of the article to go to her website, where you can purchase her art. I’m not sure what she sells or doesn’t sell, but that’s something you need to ask her.
