    Wow. I don’t exactly know how to respond to this. I did love the painting she said was heaven and her describing all the colors she saw. That really impacted me.
    I’d love to know your thoughts on the video.

    I live in the same house as a 4-year-old. Most of what goes through a 4-year-old’s mind is: play, eat, sleep if she has to, and play some more. Most of the things she says come from what she’s heard other people saying.

    Akiane grew up in an atheist home and all of the sudden is saying she has visions from God and is drawing them very beautifully. Ultimately what she wants to do is help people. I think it’s a wonderful thing that God chooses to speak in different ways to different people. I also like that she calls it mysterious. I really hope Christian groups don’t get behind her and start marketing her.

    I was also intrigued by her description of heaven, saying there are millions of colors that we’ve never even seen before. Pretty incredible.

    I do not have a theological box any more. God is my Father. I have a wonderful realationship with Him. He does not fit into a box He is too BIG!
    Yet, God is light and He put some of that Light in each of His children. That Light is shining through Akiane. Let Father God show you how the light looks that He want you to shine forth to give Him Glory! You can only know Him personally as Father if you follow His protocol!

    Without faith you cannot communicate with God.

    i believe that Akiane’s artistic vision is very “new age” and not at all in line with true Biblical authority. her desire to help others is very commendable and her talent is undeniable. but her spirituality i find very questionable.

    This is amazing. At age 4 she understood the technique of shade and colours, perspective the whole lot. If we check this from the Rubens, Rembrant, and all the other classical painters, they also mastered light, shade and colours their own way but equally she is professional at it.

    The difference is however that her art is a known style to the new-age, as mentioned by someone above earlier. It’s not new. Check biblical literature, say the kind of the Hara Krshna or Johova Church … it’s exactly the same style. Nevertheless, this is extremely extraordinary for her age. AT the age of 8 I tried to explain the meaning of ‘TALENT’, however the teacher made a fool out of me and made the class laugh at me also. Now she proves my statement 35 years later. I understood very well what I was saying.

    On the spiritual level, it’s no wonder because as a self taught artist (by god) it’s mind blowing to grasp the world because if you can paint it realistically without question then that’s communication with the devine whatsoever.

    The subjects she draws at such young age … it’s a miracle …
