Akiane Kramarik (born July 9, 1994) is an American poet and artistic prodigy.

Biography

Akiane Kramarik was born in Mount Morris, Illinois to a Lithuanian mother and an American father. She is homeschooled.^[1]

She is primarily a self-taught painter. However, she states that God has given her the visions and abilities to create her artwork, which is unusual for her family, considering both her parents were atheist at the time (they later converted to Christianity on account of Kramarik's paintings and visions^[2]). Kramarik started drawing at the age of four, advancing to painting at six, and writing poetry at seven. Her first completed self-portrait sold for US$10,000.^[3] A large portion of the money generated from sales is donated by Kramarik to charities.^[4] According to Kramarik, her art is inspired by her visions of heaven, and her personal connection with God. Kramarik's art depicts life, landscape, and people.

At the age of 10, she appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and on CNN at the age of 12.^[5]

Her younger brother, Ilia Kramarik, is a philosopher, poet, artist and philanthropist, and is also considered to be uniquely gifted.
