Product Description
Ten-year-old prodigy Akiane Kramarik shares her artwork, poetry, and the fascinating story surrounding her talent.
Growing up in a home with an atheistic mother and a non-participating Catholic father did not stop four-year-old Akiane Kramarik from finding God. This girl’s dreams began a conversation in the home that has eventually brought them all to Christianity and the world’s attention. Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry is a collection of the best of Akiane’s full-color paintings and poetry created from ages 4 to 10, along with details of her family and the amazing stories that surround each unique artwork. Already a media professional, Akiane has been interviewed on programs such as Oprah, World News Tonight, Lou Dobbs Tonight on CNN, and Schuller’s Hour of Power. Akiane will be one of twenty visual artists participating in the October “Listen” event raising money for the world’s needy children. Today Akiane’s art is available online at www.artakiane.com.

Akiane Kramarik has captured my coworkers and myself at our bookstore from the first moment we saw her book. The imagery is stunning and quite evocative. She is clearly mystically inclined and is hard to understand at times. Her mother’s story of her young life, from birth to eleven years old, is compelling, even if not very professional. She’s a mom and not a professional writer after all. The poems are breathtaking and profound, taking several readings to begin to “get” them. Though I suspect that if Akiane has gotten these from God, then they may not be “gotten” until we share her heavenly perspective. It seems that she is a prophet of sorts. We’ll have to await what comes to pass in the coming years to see if she is really of God or not. One thing is for certain however, and that is her talent. Whether it’s her painting, sketching, or poetry, it’s no overstatement to call her a genius. I just hope she can stay humble in such an environment. I look forward to what her future will bring to us!

This is a great thing to see. We are seeing someone who is born with this talent and we get to see her progress with this. I think people get caught up in the “Christian” aspect of it and seem to be negative about her.
What is she? She’s an 11 year old who paints what she sees in her mind. Does it matter if it not stylized as people think it should be? Again, when you hear this artist talk, she paints her dreams and what she sees in her mind. I think that’s true of a lot of artists.
And for the people who are negative about her, it has drawn their attention too.
Is this artist looking to be taken seriously in the “art world?” It does not seem that way. This artist is painting what she wants to paint and seems to love it.
Children, even those called “prodigies”, have something to teach us and we put them off because they’re “just kids.”
I love this and take it for what it is.

Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry
To view the artistic talent of this amazing young lady is in itself a great pleasure, but to read her story, her rapport with God, to know that these parents have been stewards of such a great gift in such a way that Akiane remains humble and focused … This lady and this book are simply one of the most enjoyable experiences in my life, and a bargain at this price, a temptation to send lots of gifts so that others can also enjoy this young lady’s wonderful gifts.
