Akiane Kramarik: Child Prodigy Artist
I just learned of now 10 year-old child prodigy Akiane, a self-taught artist who paints what God shows her in visions. Her paintings are so good I thought it was a hoax, and tried to find her on Snopes.com, but to no avail.
She has been featured in Christianity Today, on CNN (you MUST watch this 3 minute video, amazing) and you can see an interview with her (also amazing) and a musical presentation of her artwork. If you go through her online gallery, you can read her comments on each painting. Amazing for a young girl. Humbling.
I love the story of her conversion... The Holy Spirit can evangelize where people can't.

The Holy Spirit sent her visions of a distinctly non-semitic Jesus? Interesting.

I read Akiane's first book (Akiane her life, her art, her poetry) several months ago near Christmas. I've spent a lot of time on her websites. She is Amazing! Such a blessing to the world!

these painting look like what an adult would think the visions of a young girl would be. Jesus looks like a member of a boy band with a beard. Nothing original. I think this is all a hoax. Kitschy. this is such a joke.

Akiane Kramarik is an intelligent talented young lady who has brought much light and hope to this world. It is wonderful to see that God in his infinte mercy chose a little girl to carry his message.

The paintings are sentimental new age crap, and I don't believe they are hers. Check out: http://fagistan.blogspot.com/2006/11/more-people-who-need-to-learn-to-pray.html

I read those comments and I think they can be interpreted in many ways. I don't think they are enough evidence to judge her. What concerns me is that her words are beginning to sound more new age than christian thought.
