The 13 years old girl, Akiane Kramarik, started painting when she was only four years old after God reportedly told her in a mysterious vision to do painting. She said she was about four and half years old when she first had this amazing vision as one day a voice was guiding her in the galaxies. She calls this voice God who, she claims, have told her to paint. "God is my personal teacher, my tutor," she says.
Her mother, Foreli Kramarik, corroborated her daughters claim saying that her child started describing new things on spritual matters and began painting exceptionally well at around the age of four.
By 5 years old she was sketching way beyond her age, and she already started painting on giant canvas by eight years old.
Since she first had her mysterious vision, she has continued painting for 9 years and already painted more than 100 pictures ranging from realistic portrait to fantastic landscapes and the natural world.
When Akiane was asked how she managed to do all her paintings, her answer is simple. "I don't know, I just did it."

Markus Kramarik, her father, said both parents had no spiritual connection before and they did not even read the Bible which might have probably been considered to have influenced their daughter's claim of the vision.
Akiane was completely self taught. She devotes all her time to painting and she spends on average upto five hours a day for six days a week. Each of the pictures she painted could take up from 15 to 300 hours to complete.
Her mother said she sometimes painted for 12 to 14 hours without break and she refused to take a break to even eat or drink in between.

Akiane only studies the subjects she enjoys. The mother said she never forced her daughter to do anything else or study maths.
Apart from painting, Akiane loves printing and publishing her books in poetry and art.
Critics might point out that it is no wonder the girl is a genuis becuase she devotes all her time to painting. But her mother would respond to such criticism saying:
"It would be a better place in the world that there would be more people who are interested in focusing their energy in the fields they are interested in."

Now Akiane is the sole bread winner of her family with her prints alone being sold in thousands of dollars. But she doesn't have to worry about how much money she makes from her paintings. She just have fun making her paintings while the rest of the family is taking care of the business side of this now joint family venture.
Her father said they sold at least 50 prints of the pictures for 1800 to 3100 US dollar per print, which already made the family rich. They also earn additional income from the sale of the original paints between one hundred thousand and three hundred thousand US dollar for each original paint. But the father said they prefer not to sell the originals.
The family has now owned a new million dollar family house as a fruit of their daughter's creative labour.

Is it a normal childhood for a 13 years old girl? One would probably ask.
The mother is quick to respond, "If a normal childhood is to sit in front of a television and be on the cell phone for three or four hours a day, I don't know if that is a normal childhood."
For the mother, a normal childhood would mean her daughter is able to serve other people, help children, enjoy what she does and be together with her family.
