Akiane Kramarik’s “Prince of Peace” Painting Rediscovered After 16 Years

Akiane Kramarik’s iconic painting “Prince of Peace,” a stunning portrayal of Jesus created when she was just 8 years old, has been rediscovered after being stolen, mistakenly sold, and kept hidden for 16 years

At 28, Akiane is now a best-selling author and philanthropist. Her creation of “Prince of Peace” was driven by a profound “visionary inspiration” she described as coming from God. “His voice is soft and lovely,” she shared.

Growing up in a non-religious household in Idaho, Akiane’s sudden spiritual awakening was a surprise to her family. Her mother, Forelli Kramarik, recalled, “We didn’t attend church, pray together, or talk about God.”
