Join Belóved Gallery for an in-depth conservation with Akiane Kramarik led by W. David O. Taylor, highlighting the 20th anniversary of the Prince of Peace painting.
Artist, poet, and author Akiane Kramarik is regarded as one of the world’s most accomplished and versatile living artists. A former child prodigy, she is considered by many art experts as the youngest binary genius in both realistic art and poetry. Akiane has written two books, Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry, and Akiane-My Dream Is Bigger Than I : Memories of Tomorrow and will release a third this fall.
Taylor is an Anglican priest and the author of numerous books exploring the intersection of faith and art. He has lectured widely on the arts, from Thailand to South Africa, and produced a short film on the psalms with Bono and Eugene Peterson. Taylor recently released a new book, A Body of Praise: Understanding the Role of Our Physical Bodies in Worship.
An event you don’t want to miss, this exclusive conversation will take place the morning of October 28th at 10 AM as part of the 2023 Fall Affair Symphony of Art! No reservations or tickets are required.
Internationally recognized fine artist, poet, best-selling author, philanthropist, filmmaker, entrepreneur, visionary, and art ambassador, Akiane Kramarik is regarded as one of the world’s most accomplished and versatile living artists.
Akiane’s portraits of Jesus remain the most recognized face of Jesus across the world today. Kramarik’s creations have been compared to the works of DaVinci and Michelangelo, and are exhibited in art galleries, museums, embassies, and private institutions, as well as collected by world leaders, CEOs, and celebrities.
Kramarik has traveled to over 33 countries, lived in eight states, seven countries, and on four continents, where she continues to pursue her craft and teach art to children.
W. David O. Taylor, theologian, author, speaker, and Anglican Priest, is an Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary and the author of several books, including Open and Unafraid: The Psalms as a Guide to Life, Glimpses of the New Creation: Worship and the Formative Power of the Arts, and A Body of Praise: Understanding the Role of Our Physical Bodies in Worship.
In addition, he has written for The Washington Post, Image Journal, Religion News Service, Christianity Today, and The Gospel Coalition, among others. He serves on the advisory board for Duke Initiatives in Theology and the Arts and was a core participant in the four-year project, “Theology, Modernity, and the Visual Arts,” hosted by King’s College, London, involving annual conversations between scholars and artists in London, Chicago, Berlin, and Venice.
Currently, Taylor lives in Austin, Texas, with his artist wife, Phaedra, with whom he produced illustrated prayer cards: “Prayers of the Psalms,” “Prayers for Life,” and “Prayers for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany.” They have also collaborated on a book of prayers and paintings to be published by Intervarsity Press in the spring of 2024.
