Akiane Kramarik’s painting “Prince of Peace,” an ethereal depiction of Jesus created when she was just 8, was recently rediscovered after being stolen, mistakenly sold, and kept hidden for 16 years.
Now 28, Akiane, a best-selling author and philanthropist, painted “Prince of Peace” due to a persistent “visionary inspiration.” She explained, “It comes from God. His voice is soft and lovely.”
Raised in a non-religious household in Idaho, Akiane’s sudden spiritual awakening surprised her family. Her mother, Forelli Kramarik, noted, “We didn’t attend church, pray together, or talk about God.”
