Best-selling author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Akiane Kramarik, known for her spiritual art, gained fame at age 8 with the ethereal painting “Prince of Peace.” Despite her family’s non-religious background, Akiane claimed divine inspiration. In an interview, she confidently stated, “It comes from God.” Her mother noted a spiritual awakening coinciding with Akiane’s artistry. The masterpiece, initially stolen and mistakenly sold, resurfaced 16 years later, purchased for $850,000 by an anonymous family dedicated to preserving it. Akiane, who prayed for a Jesus model, painted the image based on a vision. The painting, temporarily lost due to a clerical error, eventually returned, impacting lives globally. Despite challenges, Akiane’s perseverance and belief in love’s power triumphed as “Prince of Peace” found its way back into the light after almost two decades. The painting is showcased at the Belóved Gallery in Marble Falls, TX.
