Seeing Heaven From A Child's Eye

     Meet Akiane, an internationally known 12-year old prodigy. Akiane is considered as the only child who is a genius both in realist painting and poetry. She began drawing at an early age of four and started painting at six. What is amazing is that she did not have formal lessons in painting but rather taught herself to draw and paint mostly by observing and studying things around her.

   It was at age 4 that she had a life changing spiritual transformation which brought her family to God. Her portrayals of Jesus and heaven were insightful and inspiring. These ideas about God and heaven could not have from her atheistic mother. Thus, the conversion of the family.

  Through her poetry and painting, 12-year old Akiane wishes to share her love for God and the people around her and "that everyone would love God and one another."

Here is Akiane's interpretaion of heaven - the new earth:

In the earth I believe there will be a place where each of us will be able to choose and create a sanctuary for worship. I believe that certain things will be somewhat similar to the earth and many things completely different. This is the garden and a mansion I would like to plant and build. In fact, the colors in the original painting are so unique and mysterious that it was almost impossible to reproduce them for the print reproduction.

Supreme Sanctuary   Love   Returning Home

Search For Truth  Unity  Innocence
