After being stolen, wrongly sold, and kept up in the dark for 16 years, Akiane Kramarik’s “Prince of Peace,” an ethereal depiction of Jesus she painted when she was only 8 years old, was resurrected as a masterpiece.
Now 28 years old, Akiane is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who has explained that she felt compelled by a recurring “visionary inspiration” to paint her masterpiece, “Prince of Peace,” depicting a “profound role model for humanity.”
An inspired image of Jesus, “Prince of Peace,” made by her particularly methodical strokes, was one of the works she displayed on the Oprah Show when she was nine years old.
“You’re obviously gifted. Where does this come from?” Oprah asked Akiane.
