What began as a simple artwork took on a life of its own when it mysteriously vanished into storage for years, only to reemerge in the first crate they opened. The story deepens as visiting archaeologists recognize the painted landscape as strikingly similar to a desert site linked to their research on Noah's flood. Akiane reflects on the divine inspiration behind her work. **Content:** ## *Beyond the Brush:* Akiane Kramarik on *The Relic* Some paintings carry their stories on the canvas. *The Relic* carries its story in what happened after the paint dried. In this episode of *Beyond the Brush*, Akiane Kramarik shares why she felt compelled to place a boat in the middle of a desert, how the finished painting disappeared into storage and could not be found for years, and the moment it reappeared in plain view in the very first crate. Then came the visitors who made the title feel less like a name and more like a prophecy: archaeologists who looked at the landscape and recognized it from their own research in the Middle East. Watch the video below, then read the full story in Akiane’s own words. *“This is something way beyond a paintbrush and an artist. This is something that I think God really, really wanted me to paint.”* *— Akiane Kramarik* ##### About This Video *Beyond the Brush* is a video series in which Akiane Kramarik shares the stories behind her paintings in her own words. In this episode, she reflects on *The Relic*, a work whose title proved strangely fitting. After the family placed the original in storage, the painting went missing for years, only to be found later sitting in the first crate they opened, in plain view. When the family gallery reopened, visiting archaeologists told Akiane the painted landscape closely matched a desert site in the Middle East connected to their research on Noah’s flood, and a second archaeologist later shared photographs of nearly identical terrain. For Akiane, the story points beyond technique or imagination to the conviction that this was a painting God wanted her to paint. Video Transcript ##### *Beyond the Brush:* Akiane Kramarik on *The Relic* Video Transcript This painting is called *The Relic*, and it just so happened that when I titled this painting, I did not expect that it would actually become a lost relic in a matter of a few years. There was a reason why I had to put the boat in the middle of this desert. And if you look really closely, there might be a tad bit of paint strokes far in the background. I wanted to make the dunes higher and also have a background of snow in the distance, but I decided to lower the dunes and just keep it as is. When I finished the painting and I named it *The Relic*, I was confident that I was going to put it on display or have it in an art show. Then we had personal adventures, and we had to put this original in storage. We used to have an 8,000 square foot gallery in our home, so I was confident we were going to come back and put all the paintings back on the wall. Me and my dad came back to America, and we could not find it. We could not find this painting for years, and we were baffled. Where did it go? We opened every single box. There was only one place we would have put it, and it was just missing. Little did we know, it is still a mystery today how it happened. Some time passed. We went back into the same place and we opened everything, and there it was, straight in our view, in the first box, the first crate. We were still baffled at how it came about. We had checked everywhere, and for years it was like, how did this happen? My mom and my dad were saying, wow, you actually called this title into existence, in a way. When the gallery was finally reopened, we loved inviting people. We loved having tours. At some point we had almost, I think it was 500 to 600 people in one place, and it was such an incredible experience. And there were these archaeologists who came, and they were staring at this painting, and they asked, why did you paint that boat? And I said, I just have this feeling that it was meant to be there. I do not know the exact reason why, but sometimes that happens. I paint something, and I have no idea. They looked at it really intensely, and they said it looked like an almost identical replica of a landscape they had discovered in the Middle East, in a desert where they were gathering information and researching Noah’s flood. They were enlightening us with all the research they were doing, and that was just one story. Then another time, another archaeologist came and told another version of something they found exactly like the scenery, and they showed us pictures of the exact landscape. The hills and the dunes were the same. The cactuses and everything were so close. Sometimes I have to sit back and wonder. This is something that is way beyond a paintbrush and an artist. This is something way beyond my control and my vision, my imagination, my love of art. This is something that I think God really, really wanted me to paint. **Categories:** Video Newsletter --- ### [Sam Ryan](https://belovedgallery.org/sam-ryan/) **Published:** September 12, 2025 **Author:** David Bean **Excerpt:** Join us for the 2025 Fall Affair featuring the extraordinary Sam Ryan, a self-taught fine artist and author whose captivating work fuses classical techniques with a raw, cinematic intensity.

A former child prodigy, she is considered by many art experts as the youngest binary genius in both realistic art and poetry. Her portraits of Jesus remain the most recognized face of Jesus across the world today. Kramarik’s creations have been exhibited in art galleries, museums, embassies, and private institutions, as well as collected by world leaders, CEO’s and celebrities. She has traveled to over 33 countries, lived in eight states, seven countries, and on four continents. Akiane’s practice has diversified across a myriad of genres, styles, and mediums – ranging from hyperreal large-scale acrylic or oil compositions to more fluid, almost abstract works that include glass and gold. Drawing inspiration from her travels, meditations, dreams, visions, and serendipitous encounters, her mission is to make the invisible accessible through poetic visual language. She spreads messages of peace and hope through creating art that has an authentic healing energy. Akiane imbues her works with intricate and multifaceted symbolism. Landscapes, portraits, and stories are transcendent metaphors purposefully left unrestricted by any space or time. Akiane considers herself an explorer and a steadfast interpreter of diverse epochs, cultures, faiths, and worlds. It is common to find a number of her originals displaying superimposed messages, hidden stories, encrypted codes, and quantum holograms especially in soulscapes – mystic landscapes of the soul and visionary interpretations of the soul’s journey through life. Above all, Akiane attributes her talent and success to her solid family support, home education, diligent work ethic, perseverance, and unique cultural and spiritual influences.

His biblically inspired cartoons have built a viral following across social media, generating millions of views each month from audiences worldwide and across generations. Billy’s work is fast, funny, sometimes feisty, and visually unexpected, but beneath the humor and creative edge is a serious purpose: he creates to honor God and to make people curious enough to open the Bible for themselves. Animation was never the original career plan. Billy studied kinesiology in college and spent several years working as a personal trainer in large gyms and private studios. Then an unexpected encounter with an animator reignited a childhood fascination with cartoons. Watching anime build enormous communities around invented characters and imaginary worlds, Billy had a realization: *the Bible is crazier than anything they’re drawing.* So he gave himself a goal: get one teenager to open a Bible. Armed with an iPad, a kitchen table, and no formal animation training, Billy began teaching himself the craft from the ground up. Within four years, he had learned to take an animated story from concept to completion—writing the scripts, acting out movements and expressions, animating the scenes, and voicing the characters himself. And his studio has some very important regulars. Billy’s young daughters—the loves of his life—are often right there with him as he works, playing and laughing nearby while their dad draws warriors, kings, prophets, battles, betrayals, and some of Scripture’s most unruly characters. That collision of fatherhood, faith, humor, and imagination has become part of the heartbeat behind his work. His approach to Scripture refuses to make these ancient stories feel distant or sanitized. Billy embraces their humanity: the courage and cowardice, absurdity and brutality, victories and spectacular failures. He treats the biblical text with reverence while giving himself permission to tell the story with personality, humor, and an unmistakable edge. What began with the hope of reaching one teenager has grown far beyond that kitchen table. Billy now hears from viewers across the world, often writing in different languages, who tell him that his animation has made them want to understand the Bible—and, most importantly to him, that they want to know more about Jesus. For Billy, those messages matter more than views, algorithms, or follower counts. They are the reason he keeps drawing. He is currently creating an ambitious animated interpretation of the Book of Judges—a world of unlikely heroes, deeply flawed leaders, impossible battles, shocking choices, and a God who continues working through extraordinarily imperfect people. It is exactly Billy Jack’s kind of story. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [What Does It Mean to Be Fully Known?](https://belovedgallery.org/what-does-it-mean-to-be-fully-known/) **Published:** August 17, 2026 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** What does it mean to be fully known? At Belóved, we believe this understanding is foundational to everything we do. Just as an artist intimately knows their creation, we are fully known by the One who designed us. Imagine what we might dream and create from a place of being fully loved. Join us this fall as we explore these profound concepts, from Marble Falls, Texas, to São Paulo, Brazil. Discover new ways to experience love, art, and community, and learn how to let God’s love in. We’re excited to share this journey with you! **Content:** ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Newsletter-Header_R1_v1-1024x237.jpg) [ ![Young girl admiring Akiane Kramarik’s Prince of Peace painting at Beloved Gallery in Marble Falls, Texas.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/IMG_3320-scaled.jpeg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/?utm_campaign=gallery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=active-campaign&utm_term=august-newsletter-2026&utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=What%20Does%20It%20Mean%20to%20Be%20Fully%20Known%3F&utm_campaign=August%20Newsletter%202026) ### Created to Be Known, Created in Love ##### What We Create From a Place of Being Fully Loved Dear Friend, Before anything is made, it must first be imagined, dreamt about, deeply considered, and thoughtfully planned. What starts as a single idea becomes a relationship between the creator and every expression of the creation. In such a process, the creation becomes fully known to its maker as it is brought into existence. Put this in the context of art: a painter who has memorized every stroke of their masterpiece knows the layers of charcoal, color, shape, and line that lie beneath the finished work. A musician with every note and rest intentionally placed can speak to all the drafts of scribbled instrumentation before the perfect melody emerges. A coder building software line by line faces the infinite potential that lies within a single program. The artist, or creator, is the one most intimately connected to what has been made, seeing all the capabilities and possibilities. It is the same for us as human beings. Before we became finished masterpieces, we too were dreamt of, considered, and intricately designed, part by part, body, mind, and spirit. We are fully known by the One who created us. A knowing that is never shaken or forgotten. At Belóved, we believe this understanding of being fully known by God is foundational to everything we do. That’s why we champion people rather than products. An artist is more than their artwork. A teacher is more than their knowledge. A pastor is more than their sermons. We are beings in process with an all-knowing God, not defined by what we’ve built or finished, but by a God who sees all we are made to be and loves us right where we are today. Imagine then what we might dream about, consider, and plan from a place of being fully known and fully loved. This is God’s eternal invitation to us: to know that we were created in love and to live from that knowing. Follow us this fall as we explore these concepts in depth, from Marble Falls, Texas, to São Paulo, Brazil.

The word commissioned means to appoint, produce, and bring into working condition. An artist can be commissioned to create a meaningful work of art. God also commissioned us into His family as sons and daughters, individual masterpieces designed by the Master Artist Himself. Building on this foundation, Jesus’s final words on earth called for the great commission, an invitation to share with the entire world the profound work of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, His unbreakable love for every one of us, and His promise of eternal life. ##### We want you here Enjoy tours of *Akiane: The Early Years* exhibition and the *Symphony of Art!* showcase at Belóved Gallery featuring artist presentations, music, and live painting! Don’t miss the grand finale of our Fall Affair weekend, Belóved Gala, for a never-before-seen interactive performance on the evening of October 25th.

From November 2025 through March 2026, *A Journey of Faith Through Art* filled SaRang Church, and thousands of visitors came to stand in front of the paintings. This film gathers what they said as they walked back out. Some of it is in English. Most of it is in Korean. Nearly all of it says the same thing. *“I know God is alive. I know He is always beside me. But life in this world wears you down. Then I looked again into the eyes in that painting, and I felt pulled toward the light.”* — *Exhibition visitor, Seoul* ##### About This Exhibition *Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art* ran at SaRang Church in Seoul from November 2025 through March 2026, the first international presentation of the Belóved Gallery exhibition. Visitors moved through an immersive, multi-sensory experience built around Akiane Kramarik’s paintings, her poetry, and her own recorded voice. What they described on the way out had almost nothing to do with technique. They spoke about being startled. About feeling seen. About a young artist reaching something they did not have words for. More than one said they felt they had walked into heaven. The flagship exhibition, *Akiane: The Early Years*, remains on view in Marble Falls, Texas, where *Prince of Peace* hangs and admission is always free. The international exhibition continues to travel. Video Transcript ##### Full Transcript \[Lewis Cirne, Co-Founder Belóved Gallery, English\] We had no idea how it was going to come true, but we dreamed of sharing remarkable art, and an even more remarkable story, with the world. Little did we know that would involve Korea. But here we are, because God is doing amazing things. \[Hak-man Hwang, Artist, Korean\] 사람이 하나님의 형상대로 창조되었는데, 그 예술가를 통해서 하나님의 창조성이 발현되는 것, 그렇게 나타난 것에 큰 감동을 받고, 참 하나님의 사람, 하나님의 예술가다, 그런 생각이 들었어요. \[English Translation\] Human beings are created in the image of God, and seeing God’s creativity revealed through an artist deeply moved me. It made me think of her as a person of God, an artist of God. \[Akiane Kramarik, Master Fine Artist, English\] I was overwhelmed with love coming here to Korea. I want to show, and hope that through my works and through my art I can at least be a small bridge between heaven and earth. In between the invisible and visible. \[Rian Kim, Enterpreneur, Korean\] 아키아나님의 작품을 보고서, 충격으로 표현하기 어려운, 작품을 보면서 깜짝 놀랐어요. 저는 아직 이런 미술 쪽의 작품을 잘 모르고 그런 감각이 없는 일반 평범한 사람인데도 불구하고, 이분의 작품에는 뭔가 충격과 감동과 설명할 수 없는 묘함을 느꼈습니다. 그다음 작품에 갈수록 천국에 와 있다는 느낌이 들었어요. 정말. \[English Translation\] I’m an ordinary person without much background in art, yet her works gave me shock, emotion, and an indescribable sense of mystery. As I continued, it began to feel like I was entering heaven. \[Hye-young Park, Housewife, Korean\] 그 영상을 보면서 하나님의 세계가 얼마나 크고 위대한지 아키아나를 통해서 우리들에게 전해 주신 것 같아서 너무 감사한 시간이었습니다. \[English Translation\] Watching the video, I felt how vast and great God’s world is, through Akiane, that message was delivered to us. I was truly grateful for that time. \[Jeong-hee Kim, Actress, Korean\] 하느님이 살아 계시는 걸 알고 늘 곁에 계시는 거는 알고 있지만, 살다 보면 세상 속에 찌들어서 지냈잖아요. 근데 다시 한번 그 그림 속에 눈을 보면서, 빛이 빨려들 것 같고 뭔가를 말씀하신 것 같은 느낌이 들었습니다. 살아 계시는구나. 내 곁에 계시는구나. \[English Translation\] I know God is real and He is always with me. But in everyday life, we get so immersed in the world that we forget. Looking again into the eyes in that painting, His gaze felt so intense, almost as if it was drawing me in. It felt like He was trying to say something to me. I felt in my heart, “He is alive. He is with me.” \[Kyung-rae Kim, Senior Elder, Korean\] 젊은 나이로서 아주 원숙한 미술적인 경지를 뛰어넘어서, 하나님의 세계와 연결되는 그런 아주 놀라운 영적인 분위기를 알게 되었고요. 그리고 이 작품을 돌아보는데, 도저히 그 나이로는 상상할 수 없는 완숙한 대미술가의 작품이라고 생각됩니다. \[English Translation\] Although she is young, her work goes far beyond her age. I sensed an extraordinary spiritual atmosphere connected to the world of God through her works. As I looked at the painting, it was hard to believe it was created at such a young age, eight and now thirty-one. It felt like the work of a great master. \[Lewis Cirne, Co-Founder Belóved Gallery, English\] You know, Akiane’s story is a global one. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world or who you are. You’re touched, and it’s beautiful to see that just like people in Marble Falls, Texas are transformed when they see this art, so are the people of Seoul, Korea. **Categories:** Video Newsletter --- ### [#iam_beloved: John Burke Video](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-john-burke-video/) **Published:** April 15, 2024 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** For thirty-five years, John Burke studied over a thousand near-death experiences, documenting the profound encounters people claimed to have with the divine. As a skeptic, he approached this research methodically, but everything changed when he stood before Akiane's painting, "Prince of Peace." It wasn't just art; it was a revelation of love, compassion, and the reality of human suffering intertwined with divine light. John reflects on how these experiences point to a God who reveals Himself through scripture, offering hope and the possibility of encountering the divine in unexpected ways. Discover his transformative journey and insights in the full story. **Content:** A Belóved Studios Video Series ## \#iam\_beloved Meet John Burke A researcher walks in as a skeptic. He leaves changed. For thirty-five years, John Burke studied over a thousand near-death experiences. He documented what people said they encountered. What they saw. The patterns in their testimonies. As an agnostic looking for proof, he approached the work scientifically, methodically, without assuming anything about faith or the divine. Then he stood in front of *Prince of Peace*. What stopped him wasn’t an argument. It was recognition. Across more than a thousand accounts of people who claimed to meet Jesus in the presence of heaven, Akiane had captured something that transcended the painting itself. Not just the art, but the reality behind it. The love. The compassion. The human suffering. The divine light. A researcher became a witness. *“I think people can come into this place and be surprised by experiencing an encounter with God.”* — John Burke Watch John’s full story in the video above, and read his complete reflection in the transcript below. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Meet John Burke I was an agnostic. I thought Jesus was probably just a legend. My dad was dying of cancer, and someone gave him the very first research on near-death experiences. I saw the book by his bedside table, picked it up, started thumbing through it, and I read it in one night. I thought to myself, “Wow, this might be actual evidence that this God Jesus stuff is real.” These millions of near-death experiences—they overlap. They point to the God who’s revealed himself through scripture. So for the past thirty-five years, I’ve studied well over a thousand of them. I’d seen the *Prince of Peace* in books and other places, but it’s hard to express in words. I think Akiane captured what I’ve heard so many times from near-death experiencers who’ve claimed to be in his presence. She did an amazing job of blending the love, the kindness, and the compassion with also the reality of his humanity. He experienced the evils of this world. The sufferings of this world. Yet he was from the light of heaven. He was fully human and yet fully God. I believe God is giving increased testimony of his reality and his goodness. So I think people can come into this place and be surprised by experiencing an encounter with God and the presence of God. Not that he’s in the artwork, but he’s everywhere. He’s here with people as they come through. This is a gift from God. God has given her a gift to share with the world because I think it tells of the reality and the hope of heaven. And we need hope. **Categories:** Video Newsletter --- ### [Meet The Weigels](https://belovedgallery.org/gala-meet-the-weigels/) **Published:** September 9, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Content:** 2025 ***Symphony of Art!*** Featured Speakers *Friday Night* ***Feature*** Film Directors # The Weigels [ FRIDAY NIGHT FEATURE TICKETS ](https://belovedgallery.org/the-weigels/#screening-tickets) ##### Presenting Sponsor: [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ark_of_highland_lakes-formal-horizontal-white-1024x377.png) ](https://arkofhighlandlakes.org) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IMG_8525-scaled-e1755030421737-1024x1024.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IMG_8525-scaled-e1755030421737.jpg) [ Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/soundofhopefilm/) [ Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/SoundOfHopeFilm) [ Youtube ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nyh9tcGFcI) [ Link ](http://www.peacetreeproductions.com) #### Joshua Weigel #### Award-Winning Director & Storyteller of Redemptive Cinema #### Rebekah Weigel #### Writer, Producer & Advocate for Families Through Film ## About The Weigels Joshua and Rebekah Weigel are award-winning filmmakers and the founders of [Peacetree Productions](https://www.peacetreeproductions.com/), a company dedicated to creating spiritually significant films that highlight urgent social issues.

In this short film from *Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist*, Akiane Kramarik describes the figures of light that visited her childhood, the sketch that kept fading from the page, and the knock at the door that finally gave the face its form. It is the beginning of a story that has since reached millions. Watch it below, then read it in her own words. *“I had no idea what God was, what Jesus was. Seeing this particular face, I just knew it was warmth, truth, and love, and unity.”* — *Akiane Kramarik* ##### About This Film Akiane Kramarik began painting at six. By eight she had completed *Prince of Peace*, the portrait of Jesus that has become one of the most recognized images of Christ in the world. In this excerpt from the documentary *Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist*, she recounts how the painting came to be: the visions that began in early childhood, her determination to find a model whose features matched what she had seen, and the carpenter who appeared at her door the very next day. The finished portrait carries that story in its composition. One side of the face in light, one side in shadow, and a point of light in the eye on the darker side, placed there so that no one would mistake the shadow for absence. *Prince of Peace* is on view at Belóved Gallery in Marble Falls, Texas as part of *Akiane: The Early Years*, where admission is always free. Video Transcript ##### Full Transcript When I was a child, these figures of light started appearing and guiding me through my days. One of these beings would always be next to me, and always walk with me. I had no idea what God was, what Jesus was. Seeing this particular face, I just knew it was warmth, truth, and love, and unity. I had this unbelievable desire to paint this face. I tried sketching the face from memory, but it kept fading away. I began looking for a model, and I was really determined to find the specific features. My mom always tried to help me, and I looked everywhere. The next day, I heard a knock on the door, and it was this giant seven-foot-tall carpenter. He knew that I was looking for a model, but he did not realize that the artist was an eight-year-old girl. It took me about forty hours. One side of his face is light. That represents the truth. The dark side of his face represents the suffering. But there is the light in his eye on the dark side. That represents that he will always be with us when we need him. **Categories:** Video Newsletter --- ### [#iam_beloved: Camille Walker Video](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-camille-walker-video/) **Published:** June 28, 2026 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Experience the inspiring journey of Camille Walker as she shares her profound connection with Belóved Gallery. On her second visit, she was enveloped by a remarkable sense of serenity while admiring Akiane Kramarik’s painting, *Prince of Peace*. “In that moment, I felt Jesus’s gaze upon me, and I knew He was there with me,” she shares. Camille’s story is a testament to faith, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit, as she forms a deep bond with the art. Explore how each interaction with Akiane’s creations unveils new pathways to introspection and motivation in her uplifting narrative. **Content:** ## \#iam\_beloved: Camille Walker ##### Encountering *Prince of Peace* for a Second Time The stories shared by guests whose lives have been touched by Akiane’s work continually inspire us. The one we are sharing today is a reminder of faith, hope, and peace. Meet Camille Walker, our latest [\#iam\_beloved](https://belovedgallery.org/iam-beloved/) story of faith. Reflecting on her second visit to Belóved Gallery, Camille describes a moment with the *Prince of Peace* painting that felt especially personal: ***“A sense of peace came over me – realizing that Jesus saw me looking at Him, and He was looking at me. That’s what touched me. It was a more profound experience this time, and it will probably continue to be \[so every time\].”*** — Camille Walker ##### About This Story Camille’s visit wove together two of Akiane Kramarik’s works. *Father Forgive Them* spoke to her about striving to live more like Christ, while *Prince of Peace* brought a wave of peace and the feeling of being truly seen. Like many guests, she found that each encounter with Akiane’s art opens a new door to reflection, connection, and inspiration. The #iam\_beloved series shares these moments from the people who live them. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Meet Camille Walker - Full Transcript I’m Camille Walker, and I live in Round Rock, Texas. This is my second time. The first time, I was looking at the painting. This time, when I walked in, the paintings were looking for me. The lady in red, the African-American lady — she’s so beautiful, but realizing the suffering. My father’s 87, and he talked about the difficulties of being a person of color in the military. Life has this way of throwing curve balls: things you don’t expect, things that are not fair, injustices, where you’ve been wounded or hurt. But when I saw *Father Forgive Them*, that really struck me as the crux of constantly striving to be more like Him, but realizing He lives in you and that He will help you to do that. The painting *Prince of Peace* — that message of peace just came over me, realizing that Jesus sees us. Like He saw me looking at Him, and then Him looking at me. That’s what touched me. It was a more profound experience the second time, and it will probably continue to be that. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [Akiane Kramarik on Painting Symphony | Beyond the Brush](https://belovedgallery.org/akiane-kramarik-symphony-painting/) **Published:** July 22, 2026 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** In her captivating painting *Symphony*, Akiane Kramarik explores the profound connection between sound and the human experience. She captures a moment of transformation, where a woman, bathed in light, discovers her voice through music. Akiane shares the hidden symbolism behind the artwork, including a cherished necklace passed down from her grandfather, a musician and poet. With a focus on texture and the miracle of sound, she invites viewers to reflect on how music resonates within us. Join her on this artistic journey and discover the layers of meaning that make *Symphony* a truly life-changing masterpiece. **Content:** ## *Beyond the Brush:* The Story Behind *Symphony* Akiane paints the invisible. Sound. Frequency. The way a voice can move through a room and change everything. In *Symphony*, she captures what most artists never attempt: the spiritual dimension of music itself. A woman mid-performance, bathed in light that dances with the rhythm of the notes. Fabrics that shimmer. A necklace that carries a family story across generations. Details layered so deeply that you can almost hear the resonance. But the painting is also a confession. A meditation on what sound does to us, what it means, why it matters. In this episode of *Beyond the Brush*, Akiane takes you inside the studio and into the mind behind the canvas. She reveals the hidden symbolism, the personal connection to her Lithuanian grandfather’s legacy, and the moment she captured a friend finding her own voice for the first time. And she reflects on why she believes sound is not just art. It’s a miracle. *“Sound moves our consciousness, our universe, and our future.”* Watch Akiane explain the masterpiece in her own words. Then visit Belóved Gallery to stand before *Symphony* and experience the painting itself, where the full weight of what she’s created becomes tangible. Video Transcript ##### Beyond the Brush: The Story Behind *Symphony* Video Transcript This painting is called *Symphony*, and the whole essence of it symbolizes how powerful sound and frequency are in our soul, in our embodiment as human beings. There’s a small detail in the painting that I haven’t really told anyone about. It’s her necklace. This one is a ring that was passed down from my grandfather in Lithuania. He was a musician, a musical and theatrical director, and a profound poet. My mother told me stories about how he was able to reverberate throughout the whole stage. His presence, his voice, the way his musical instruments delivered something so powerful. I wanted to add that little note into this painting. Another one that was quite fascinating is when I had the inspiration. I had no idea the exact features of the model that I wanted to paint, but I thought, “My goodness, I think I know somebody.” It was one of my great, great friends who is also my neighbor. She was able to model for me on this painting. The whole idea was that I wanted to incorporate that confidence. The kind that only really drives deep down and is only able to shine through when you are on a rare spotlight. She had just recently picked up a musical instrument. She was very shy about it at first. I said, “No, I need to see that confidence.” She was in that zone and she found that confidence in the way she presented it to me. She told me she’s never felt that before. She’s never felt the way she was in that moment. That’s when I captured her, when she was playing that piece. If you notice closely, some of the spotlights in the background have very distinct horizontal lines. That really corresponds to two things: the lights that are on the stage, but also the way the light is able to move and dance with the frequency that is being emitted. That is the reason why I wanted to really showcase it in this sentence: *Sound is a miracle.* I feel that we really have to understand the importance of what we hear and how we speak, how we project ourselves. That really is important. That feeling when you meet someone, that good connection or that music that gives you those goosebumps around your hands—that is life-changing without you even realizing it, because it’s in your core and it’s recorded. That’s how powerful I thought it was. That’s why I wanted to paint the *Symphony*. I love fabrics. I love textures. From the very beginning, when I was on the hip of my mama, I would touch everything around the store, around the house. Texture is so important to me. I think it’s because of my experiences that it’s so clear to me, so vivid, that I’m able to capture it because I want to feel it too. How I’m able to achieve that look, I really made the distinction to create those really vivid lines first. And I have to create an oval, round effect for the creases and have that little highlight. My favorite part is getting a dry brush and drawing it in between, then creating the fabric with the little threads inside that. There are layers to that to create that transparency, but I think fabrics is one of my favorite things to paint because I could just dive so deep and get lost in it. **Categories:** Video Newsletter --- ### [Beyond the Brush with Akiane Kramarik: Penguin](https://belovedgallery.org/akiane-kramarik-penguin-painting/) **Published:** June 16, 2026 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** In the midst of a fierce blizzard, artist Akiane Kramarik found herself snowed in with no canvas and no way to reach an art store. Determined to create, she ventured into her family’s shed and discovered a piece of wood among her dad’s carpentry supplies. This unexpected medium became the foundation for her painting, *Penguin*, infused with the essence of the cold and traces of snowflakes. Experience the unique story behind this mixed-media masterpiece, where nature and artistry intertwine, and discover how the elements shaped not just the artwork, but the artist’s very hands as she painted through the storm. **Content:** ## *Beyond the Brush:* The Story Behind *Penguin* Some paintings are made in a studio. *Penguin* was made in a blizzard. In this short film from Belóved Studios, artist Akiane Kramarik tells how being snowed in with no canvas led her to a scrap of wood in her family’s shed — and how the cold itself became part of the piece. Watch the video above, then read the full story in her own words. **About the Painting** *Penguin* was painted not on canvas but on a piece of wood Akiane found in her family’s shed during a blizzard, when she was stranded with no supplies and no way to reach an art store. The frigid conditions left their mark: as the diluted paints met the cold, they dried almost instantly, and traces of the snow itself became embedded in the surface. The result is a true mixed-media piece, shaped as much by the storm as by the artist. Video Transcript ##### Beyond the Brush: The Story Behind *Penguin* Video Transcript One of the tidbits behind this piece, and the genesis of how it all started, was in the middle of an extremely cold blizzard, and I was out of paints. I could not leave the house. I was literally stuck in the middle of the woods where we were located at the time, and the only pathway that was able to be paved was from our house to our shed. I opened our shed and it’s three to four feet of snow, and I am so cold, but I really wanted to paint. I could not find any canvases, and I had to go drive to an art store, but I couldn’t. So I went into the shed and I found, in the middle of my dad’s carpentry supplies, a piece of wood. So this painting, *Penguin*, is actually painted on wood from that shed, that I was able to manage to paint myself out of the snow. And that’s where all that frigid, cold essence is embedded into the canvas. Immediately, when the paints were diluted and mixed, it dried up, and some of the cold and some snowflakes were embedded. It’s a whole experience, a whole mixed-media experience in this painting. And my fingers were very, very cold that day, for sure. **Categories:** Video Newsletter --- ### [Introducing Beyond the Brush with Akiane](https://belovedgallery.org/introducing-beyond-the-brush-with-akiane/) **Published:** June 16, 2026 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Journey into the stories, inspiration, and spiritual meaning behind Akiane Kramarik’s breathtaking masterpieces in our new video series, Beyond the Brush.

Each and every sound in the universe is a permanent holographic signature affecting all physical matter. Generating visible forms of patterns, shapes and moving processes, living harmonics and rhythms can become a dawn chorus of birds, a shooting star, a snowflake or a human being. Acoustic force fields keep on navigating us into God’s light, and by attuning to divine soundscape, we are capable of co-creating immediate and real abundance and perfection. If we ask, we shall receive, but if we listen, we shall perceive. Sacred sounds wake us up to our memory of excellence where instantaneous wholeness takes place, because true wholeness is holiness – a symphony of quintessential harmony. Sound is a miracle. It moves our consciousness, our universe and our future. Every one of us is a symphony, and all life depends on its vibrations, because sound is a vibration of creation itself.

So when Dana first saw Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace*, she recognized something profoundly different, and brought her mother to Belóved Gallery to see it in person. In our latest #iam\_beloved story of faith, Dana describes being “hugged by peace” from the moment she walked in, and what it means to let a painting speak. Watch her story below, then read it in her own words. ***“It is my joy and my privilege to be His beloved for all the days of my life.”*** — Dana Sleger ##### About This Story Dana Sleger comes from a family of prophetic artists — her mother paints the colors and images she “catches,” so Dana grew up fluent in the idea that art can carry more than what it depicts. Visiting Belóved Gallery with her mother, she was struck first by the porcelain wall of blue and gold, then by the deepening peace that led her to Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace*. Drawing on C.S. Lewis’s description of a “bright shadow” that baptized his imagination in holiness, Dana describes prophetic art as indirect communication — an invitation to encounter Jesus, where truth awakens from within each viewer. Her #iam\_beloved story is a call to come with open ears and ask what the painting has to show you. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Meet Dana Sleger - Full Transcript My mom is a prophetic artist, and I grew up with her painting — these beautiful colors and pictures that she would catch — and she knows Akiane’s story. Growing up in the church, you see different paintings of Jesus. You see Him crying, you see Him laughing. And when I saw this one, there was something profoundly different about it. I was captivated by it. I knew I wanted to set up a time when we could come visit. When we first walked into the gallery together, we were immediately taken by the porcelain wall — the blue and the gold, how it reflects and looks like water. It’s like you’re being hugged by peace even when you’re in the lobby. And then that peace intensifies as you walk through. You read the words on the wall, you look at the paintings, and you can feel the peace getting stronger and stronger. It leads you around the corner to other paintings, and then you finally encounter the painting *Prince of Peace*. You are struck. It goes from seeing a painting on the internet or in a book to standing in front of it in person. All I could do was look into the eyes of Jesus — it’s like an eternal landscape that keeps going and going. You feel the invitation to know Him more, to connect with His heartbeat, to live life connected to the pulse of heaven, and it moves you. You can’t help but cry. My mom cried. My friends cried. I cried. The people in front of me were crying. It was a real treasure to see one prophetic artist meet another through canvas, and my mom was very moved by that. To bring her here was a beautiful story for our family. The beautiful thing about prophetic art is that there’s an element of indirect communication to it. With direct communication, someone can tell you a profound truth and you receive it. But prophetic art is different. There’s indirect communication, which means you can extract a variety of meanings — truth awakens from within someone. You could have a thousand people come in and get a thousand different meanings of what that painting is to them. One of my favorite stories is about C.S. Lewis. It’s documented that one day he was reading a story by George MacDonald, and as he read, he could remember what he describes as a bright shadow that leapt off the page and baptized his imagination in holiness. I find that with prophetic art, in the case of Akiane, you can see how her imagination was baptized in holiness, and how she brought that imagination to describe what she was seeing. Akiane captured something really special in this painting, *Prince of Peace*. I believe there’s a beckoning, if you will. I believe God still speaks, and it’s an invitation to have an encounter with Him. There’s a scripture in Proverbs that I love: “The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both.” I want to encourage people — whether they’ve come through the gallery already or they’re preparing to visit — that God still speaks. He can speak through paintings, through art, through creativity. We see it every day. We are in partnership with the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and God is longing to speak with His sons and daughters. Coming to the gallery is an invitation to encounter Jesus on a deeper level. I would tell people: keep your ears open, and ask the question, “What truth, Jesus, do You want to show me through this painting?” There are too many things in my life that I can look back on that are so filled with the wonder of God, so filled with His love, that not for one moment could I ever doubt my faith in Him, my love for Him, and His love for me. It is my joy and my privilege to be His beloved for all the days of my life. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [#iam_beloved: Meet John Burke](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-meet-john-burke/) **Published:** April 15, 2024 **Author:** Alaina Wood **Excerpt:** For thirty-five years, John Burke searched for proof of the afterlife through science, studying over a thousand near-death experiences. What he discovered changed everything. At Belóved Gallery, he encountered the "Prince of Peace" painting, created by an eight-year-old girl, which mirrored the divine presence described by countless individuals. This agnostic-turned-scholar found not just art, but a doorway to a profound experience of love and compassion. "I think people can come into this place and be surprised by experiencing an encounter with God," he said.

Not through scripture or sanctuary, but through science — studying more than a thousand near-death experiences, looking for patterns in what people claimed to encounter on the other side. What he found stopped him cold. He came to Belóved Gallery as a researcher. He left as a witness. Standing before *Prince of Peace*, this agnostic-turned-scholar said something stopped him that he hadn’t expected — not an argument, but a recognition. Across more than a thousand accounts of people who described being in the presence of Jesus, Akiane had captured something he had only heard in words. The love. The compassion. The unmistakable reality of a face both fully human and fully divine. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-3.02.24-PM.png) > "I think people can come into this place and be surprised by experiencing an encounter with God." > > - John Burke His story began at a bedside table — his father dying of cancer, a book about near-death experiences left there by a stranger. He read it in one night. That single encounter set the course of three decades of research, and ultimately led him here: to a painting created by an eight-year-old girl, in a gallery in the Texas Hill Country, that looked exactly like what a thousand people said they saw in Heaven. At Belóved Gallery, we believe the *Prince of Peace* painting is more than art. It is a doorway. And sometimes, after a lifetime of searching, the most unlikely people find themselves walking through it. *Experience John Burke’s full story in his video interview.

Alan’s words are timely for Holy Week: “When you walk in the *Prince of Peace* Sanctuary, it’s just a reminder of how much pain and suffering Christ went through and that the glorious resurrection is the reward.” This week, we recognize Jesus’s passion – his willingness to fulfill His purpose on earth despite the pain and suffering He endured. We remember that Jesus understands our suffering and is bent in love and mercy toward us, seeking to wipe our tears and hold our hands. And we remember Jesus’s resurrection! Death is not the end.

Tiffany Joy first saw Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace* as a little girl, watching another child her own age share the painting on television. Decades later, in one of the hardest seasons of her life, she walked into Belóved Gallery and found that same face waiting for her. In our latest #iam\_beloved story of faith, Tiffany shares how a painting she never forgot met her exactly when she needed it. Watch her story below, then read it in her own words. ***“I learned that I was God’s beloved through a lot of trial and error. Something that took me a long time to learn is that I could not earn His love.”*** — Tiffany Joy ##### About This Story Tiffany Joy is a filmmaker who grew up surrounded by art. As a girl, she watched a young Akiane Kramarik share *Prince of Peace* on television, and the image stayed with her in a way no other depiction of Jesus had — personal rather than distant. Years later she moved to Austin, Texas, following a sense of calling into a season of real hardship, only to discover that the painting she had loved since childhood was an hour away in Marble Falls. At Belóved Gallery she felt met, and her #iam\_beloved story is about learning, through loss and grace, that she is God’s beloved and could never earn His love. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Meet Tiffany Joy - Full Transcript I first saw the *Prince of Peace* image as a little girl, seeing someone on TV who was about my age, and she was showing her painting of Jesus. I now know that that was on the Oprah Winfrey show. I was watching it at my grandmother’s. I’m also an artist, and my mom’s an artist, so I grew up in that sort of environment of art appreciation, learning to paint and draw at an early age. So when I saw this other little girl on TV who was so talented, it made me very excited. It made me realize that anything was possible, even for really young children. Appreciating art history, and growing up in the art environment with a lot of family in the Roman Catholic belief, I was exposed to a lot of liturgical artwork — of angels, of Jesus, of Mary — and all of it was beautiful. But even as a little girl, I knew there was something different about the *Prince of Peace* painting. There was a feeling of close connection that I didn’t necessarily feel with the other paintings of Jesus I had encountered. With those, there was almost a feeling of distance, like He was untouchable. And that was not the Jesus I knew as a child. I knew Jesus on a much more personal level. To see, at that age, a painting that depicted Jesus more the way I saw Him — and to know there was a little girl my age who also experienced that — was incredible. Years later, my grandmother was gifted a print of the *Prince of Peace*, and she hung it in her home. It was always a very special centerpiece. The *Prince of Peace* painting was something I never let go of, even into adulthood. And then when I moved to Austin, Texas, I had no idea that the painting I’d seen since I was a child was only an hour away, in Marble Falls. I’m a filmmaker, and I had moved to Austin specifically because I felt God was calling me here. I didn’t have anyone here. I didn’t have a job lined up. I was experiencing different hardships in life at that time, and it just felt like the whole world was pulling out from under my feet. To me, it didn’t really make sense to move to Austin. But He made everything available. He made housing available. He started connecting me with a church. Even after I was here, though, the hardships continued. I was here only a week, and two of my family members passed away. And I said, “God, You told me to come here to Austin. I don’t understand why You’re not meeting me here. I feel like You sent me out on this voyage and left me floating.” I came to the gallery. I was particularly connected to the missing years and dreams. I think it’s a precious thing to be able to see Jesus in His early years — having all of this vast knowledge of past, present, and future, the world around Him, just as a teenager. That’s a part of His life none of us really consider. And to know that He was a human being — words can’t communicate it. Art itself is storytelling. Each painting tells a story. Jesus chose to teach through stories. I felt Jesus’s presence when I came into the gallery. In that moment, I saw Him. I knew what it looked like, and I knew it felt personal, but I did not realize how much it would impact me. I don’t idolize the painting, but I do feel like Jesus’s presence follows it. I’m asking, “Where are You?” And then — You’re here. Shortly after that, doors started opening up to jobs. Healing started taking place in the areas of my life where I’d been experiencing hardship. Then some other hardships came up, but in the midst of it, I saw Him, and I realized: You are here, and You have met me here. I learned that I was God’s beloved through a lot of trial and error. I never doubted His power and His grace, but something that took me a long time to learn is that I could not earn His love. To see the ways in which He’s shown His love to me, even in the hardships — the way He’s come through — was a really incredible experience. I feel like I would not have seen His grace and understood His love to the fullness had I not experienced those hardships. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [#iam_beloved: Jerri McBay Video](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-jerri-mcbay-video/) **Published:** May 20, 2026 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Jerri McBay is not just a visitor; she’s a passionate ambassador for the Belóved Gallery.

Since Belóved Gallery opened the doors to *Akiane: The Early Years* in Marble Falls back in 2023, she has been one of the steadiest faces we’ve seen. Charter bus after charter bus. Friend after friend. What pulls her back is the alcove. The small, quiet space that holds *Prince of Peace*. ***“Being in the alcove with the ‘Prince of Peace’ is indescribable.

Standing before Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace*, a profound peace came over them. In our #iam\_beloved story of faith, the Thorats share why, for them, the gallery is not an art experience but an encounter. Watch their story below, then read it in their own words. ***“It is not an art gallery experience, but an encounter with the One Himself, Jesus Christ.”** — Pred Thorat ##### About This Story Pred and Fabiola Thorat met on a mission field and have spent their lives carrying faith across the world — Pred from India to Colombia, Fabiola from Mexico to Belgium. Celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary in Marble Falls, they noticed a billboard on the side of the road and decided to stop in at Belóved Gallery. When they first saw *Prince of Peace*, a profound peace came over their hearts, and they left with the assurance that everything would be all right. For Pred, who grew up hearing how people of every background encountered Jesus in dreams and visions, the painting put a face to the One the world is seeking. Their #iam\_beloved story is a reminder that the gallery is less an exhibit than an encounter. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Meet The Thorats- Full Transcript Pred: My name is Pred. Fabiola: And my name is Fabiola. Pred: I was born and raised in India and was a missionary to Colombia, South America. Fabiola: And I was born and raised in Mexico and was a missionary in Brussels, Belgium. We met on a mission field and have been married for 15 years. On our 15th wedding anniversary, we were here in Marble Falls celebrating the occasion. On our way here, we saw a huge billboard on the side of the road and decided to pay a visit. When we first saw the *Prince of Peace*, a profound peace came over our hearts. We both felt loved in His presence and left with the assurance that everything will be all right. Pred: Growing up in India, I heard countless stories — not just of Christians, but also of Hindus, Buddhists, and even Muslims — who encountered a man named Jesus, either in a dream or a vision, but most often a face-to-face encounter with Christ Himself. The *Prince of Peace* painting put a face to the man the world is seeking. It is not an art gallery experience, but an encounter with the One Himself, Jesus Christ. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [#iam_beloved: The Wraights Video](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-the-wraights-video/) **Published:** March 26, 2024 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** On Good Friday, the Wraight family embarked on a profound journey that began in an emergency room. After Alan Wraight flatlined during a heart attack, he found himself in the arms of Jesus, counting the stars on His crown. His daughter Christina, inspired by his near-death experience, vowed to see Akiane Kramarik’s iconic painting, *Prince of Peace*. Standing before it, Alan felt a deep connection to his encounter in the throne room of God. Their #iam_beloved story is a testament to faith, the power of resurrection, and the significance of this remarkable painting. Discover their incredible journey below. **Content:** ## The Wraights’ #iam\_beloved Story: ##### A Near-Death Encounter and *Prince of Peace* - Video On Good Friday, the Wraight family came to Belóved Gallery for the first time — but their journey began in an emergency room. After Alan Wraight flatlined during a heart attack and found himself in the throne room of God, face to face with Jesus, his daughter Christina began researching near-death experiences and kept encountering one image: Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace*. In our #iam\_beloved story of faith, Alan and Christina share what it was like to stand before the painting after such a life-altering event. Watch their story below, then read it in their own words. ***“I was in His arms, like a toddler, counting the stars on His crown.”*** — Alan Wraight ##### About This Story Alan Wraight was having a heart attack when he flatlined — and found himself before a bright light he knew was God the Father, then in the arms of Jesus, counting the stars on His crown before waking back in a Sugar Land emergency room. As Alan recovered, his daughter Christina began researching near-death experiences, and one image kept surfacing: Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace*. She vowed to go to the ends of the earth to see it, and on Good Friday she brought her parents to Belóved Gallery. Standing before the painting, Alan felt it was close to what he had seen in the throne room. The Wraights’ #iam\_beloved story is a family’s witness that the resurrection is the reward — and that this image is worth the pilgrimage. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Meet The Wraight - Full Transcript Alan: I was having a heart attack, and I flatlined. When everything went black, within a few seconds I was in front of this bright light, and I knew it was God the Father. I was in so much love and holiness, I can’t even put it into words. I was compelled to kneel because of God’s authority. I looked up, and there He was — Jesus. The next thing I remember is I was in His arms, like a toddler, counting the stars on His crown. I got up to number three or four, and then everything went dark, and I was back in the emergency room in Sugar Land. Christina: After my father’s encounter, I started researching near-death experiences. A recurring theme that kept popping up was the *Prince of Peace* painting. I remember telling God I would go to the ends of the earth to see this painting. So I called my parents, and the three of us came and saw it on Good Friday. I was almost in tears when I saw it, because I felt like Jesus was looking at me again. It was very emotional. Alan: That was pretty close to what I saw when I was in the throne room of God. It’s very humbling. Every time I walk in there, I don’t worship the image of that painting — I worship our King. I think of Him carrying that cross, the beating, how badly He suffered, and how He still made it to Calvary. When you walk in there, to me, that’s a reminder of how much pain and suffering Christ went through, and that the glorious resurrection is the reward. Christina: In the 2,000 years since Jesus walked the earth, history has never given us such an iconic image of Christ. Whether you live far or near, I think it’s definitely worth the pilgrimage to come see this painting. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [#iam_beloved: Hadarah Belle Video](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-hadarah-belle-video/) **Published:** November 25, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** When Hadarah Belle was just three years old, she experienced a profound vision of Heaven, claiming to have met Jesus. Her vivid descriptions included a radiant Jesus, singing flowers, and a comforting lion beside a lamb. Most strikingly, she encountered a girl who introduced herself as her older sister, a revelation that deeply moved Hadarah’s mother, confirming a long-held grief. Years later, upon seeing Akiane Kramarik’s painting, Hadarah recognized it as the real Jesus she had met. Join us as we explore Hadarah’s incredible #iam_beloved story of faith, love, and the extraordinary connection between a child and the divine. **Content:** ## Hadarah Belle’s #iam\_beloved Story ##### A Child’s Vision of Jesus and *Prince of Peace* - Video When Hadarah Belle was three years old, grieving a family move, she woke from a dream insisting she had been to Heaven and seen Jesus. Years later, standing before Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace*, she said it was the real Jesus — the one she had seen. In our #iam\_beloved story of faith, Hadarah shares her vision in her own words, and her mother shares the moment that confirmed it. Watch their story below, then read it in their own words. ***“It was the real Jesus — the one I saw in Heaven.”*** — Hadarah Belle ##### About This Story When Hadarah Belle was three, her family had just moved, and she was carrying real grief over the people they had left behind. Then she woke one night with a different kind of tears, telling her mother she had been to Heaven and seen Jesus. She described the rainbow, the singing flowers, the lion asleep beside the lamb — and a girl who said she was her older sister, 17 years old. For Hadarah’s mother, that detail confirmed a loss she had carried quietly for 17 years. When Hadarah later saw Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace*, she recognized it at once as the real Jesus, the one she had met. Her #iam\_beloved story is a child’s witness to a love that meets every family where it hurts. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Meet Hadarah Belle - Full Transcript Hadarah: Last year, I went to Heaven. I saw Jesus. His head was so bright that I covered my eyes in my blanket — I bring a blanket to Heaven. It had the biggest rainbow you have ever seen. Jesus had holes in His hands and feet, and I touched them and put my fingers in them. Hadarah: The fields all around Heaven had all kinds of flowers in them, even pansies — singing flowers, worshipping God. I saw every animal He made. I saw the lion and the lamb. The lamb was so cuddly; she was asleep next to a lion, because everything is kind in Heaven. The babies and angels were holding hands — and also my other sister, my sister before me. Hadarah’s mother: I’m Hadarah’s mom, and I was there when she woke up after her dream of Heaven. One thing she told me, I knew was absolutely from God. She said, “I met a girl in Heaven who said she was my sister. She said she was 17 years old.” And I started bawling my eyes out, because 17 years ago I was on a bathroom floor, crying, holding a little child in my hands. I’ve never really spoken about it to anyone — but she’s there in Heaven. Ever since this happened, we’ve been recording her testimony, trying to really grasp what she saw. Hadarah: The first time I saw it, I cried. It was the real Jesus — the one I saw in Heaven. I got to meet Akiane. I made her a card of Jesus. And thank you for painting my Jesus. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [#iam_beloved: Brian Alarid Video](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-brian-alarid-video/) **Published:** November 25, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** When Brian Alarid’s 12-year-old daughter Chloe was hospitalized and paralyzed, the worst day of his life became the day God gave him a mission: to pray for every person on earth by name.

Now the founder of World Prays, Brian recognized the Jesus he had met in a dream when he stood before Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace*. In our latest #iam\_beloved story of faith, he shares Chloe’s healing and the peace “no one else can give.” Watch his story below, then read it in his own words. ***“Love isn’t something God has. Love is someone God is.”*** — Brian Alarid ##### About This Story Brian Alarid was a pastor for 28 years before his family walked through a crisis that reshaped his mission. In 2016, his daughter Chloe was hospitalized, paralyzed, and lost her memory — yet held onto one thing: that her father loved her. Out of that season, Brian and his wife Mercy founded World Prays and the Pray for All movement, with a vision to pray for all eight billion people on earth by name. Having met Jesus in a dream years earlier, Brian recognized those same eyes in Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace*. His #iam\_beloved story is about a peace given in the midst of trouble, and learning that love is not something God has but someone God is. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Meet Brian Alarid - Full Transcript I was a pastor for 28 years. About eight years ago, in 2016, our daughter Chloe was 12 years old, and she got sick — in and out of hospitals and clinics. One day she woke up and couldn’t walk; she went from active to paralyzed. They hospitalized her again, and over the next six weeks she just got worse and worse. The day came when she couldn’t open her eyelids anymore. And on May 13th, 2016, she had complete amnesia in the hospital. She didn’t know her name, didn’t know the name of her school, didn’t know what a school was, didn’t recognize her mother. So I held her eyes open. I said, “Chloe.” And she said, “I Chloe.” And I said, “Yeah, baby, you’re Chloe.” She’s 12 years old. I said, “Do you know who I am?” And she strained, and she said, “You, Dada — you love me.” That was her only memory: that I was Dada. She didn’t know her name, but she knew I loved her. The head of neurology said, “Your daughter will never walk again. At some point her eyelids should be able to open, but she’ll be in a wheelchair, in pain, the rest of her life.” That day, May 13th, 2016 — the worst day of my life — also became the best day of my life, because that’s what God does. God specializes in turning crucifixions into resurrections. In the hospital He made an assignment for me: pray for everybody in the world. And if I would give Him my daughter and put her on the altar, He would take care of her — because the way you love your daughter, that’s the way I love everyone, and I want everyone prayed for by name. So with great pain and discouragement and brokenness, my wife Mercy and I accepted that call to pray for the whole world. Scripture says in 1 Timothy 2 to pray for all people — because, verse four, God wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of His Son, because God loves the world. About four years ago we set out on a mission called World Prays, and a global prayer movement called Pray for All. Our vision is to pray for every person on the planet — all eight billion people — by name, because the Bible says, “I’ve called you by name.” When you have a name, you’re a person. The people who feel invisible, like they don’t matter — God knows their name and calls them His children. Years ago in Costa Rica, where we were missionaries, I got water baptized. Two nights later I had a dream, and Jesus appeared to me. We sat on a park bench, and He put His arm around me, looked me in the eyes, and said, “Will you devote your life to preach My word?” When you see those eyes — so full of love and joy and peace, and you’re seen and known and loved, not judged but embraced — I said, “Lord, I’ll devote my life to preach Your word.” And with His finger He wrote on the bench, and He said, “I’m going to give you a new name.” Now we’re on a mission to pray for everyone by name. Just this year, since January 1st, we’ve prayed for over 500 million people by name. When I looked at the painting, I thought: that is who I saw. It was so powerful. And I love that Akiane called it *Prince of Peace*, because in this world you’re going to have trouble. He said, “I’m not going to take you out of the trouble; I’m going to give you peace in the midst of trouble.” People are looking for something. You might have war in your family, a painful divorce, a loved one with cancer, or you just lost your job — and you need peace in the midst of turmoil. He offers peace that no one else can give. I think this is the time for this painting to be seen by the world, to communicate God’s love and God’s peace and hope. It took about six months for Chloe to get out of the wheelchair. It’s been almost eight years now, and Chloe is doing better — she’s 20 and recovering, and God has been faithful and merciful to her. She wants to go to Bible college next year. When I think of the word beloved, the scripture that comes to mind is 1 John 4:16: God is love, and whoever lives in love lives in God, and God lives in them. God loves me, and when I receive His love, I’m able to love others — my wife, my children, my friends, the world — the way God loves me. Love isn’t something God has; love is someone God is. The Bible says, “Perfect love casts out fear.” So when I’m really loved, I let go of my fears and my inhibitions, and I’m able to love as I am loved. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [#iam_beloved: Meet John Sheridan Video](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-meet-john-sheridan-video/) **Published:** May 30, 2024 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** John Sheridan, a veteran with a rich family history of military service, shares a transformative encounter that redefined his understanding of peace. After years of battling PTSD and attending too many military funerals, he discovered that the color green, once synonymous with conflict, could also represent peace. Standing before Akiane Kramarik's painting, *Prince of Peace*, he felt Jesus’ eyes meet his, enveloping him in a profound sense of tranquility. “I don’t have to wait until they’re putting me six feet in the ground to know peace,” he says. His story offers hope to veterans still searching for solace. **Content:** ## John Sheridan’s #iam\_beloved: ##### A Veteran Finds Peace in *Prince of Peace* - Video John Sheridan served nine years in the US Army, in a family that goes back generations of soldiers — and for him, the color green always meant the uniform, conflict, and war. Then he learned that Akiane Kramarik painted green to mean peace, and standing before *Prince of Peace*, he felt Jesus’ eyes meet his like “two beams of green light.” In our #iam\_beloved story of faith, John shares how that encounter rewrote what peace means for a veteran carrying PTSD and a lifetime of military funerals. Watch his story below, then read it in his own words. ***“I don’t have to wait until they’re putting me six feet in the ground to know peace. I know peace because He’s a part of my life.”*** — John Sheridan ##### About This Story John Sheridan comes from a long line of military service — a father who helped start the Navy SEAL program, a grandfather who drove General Patton across Europe and helped liberate Nazi camps, uncles who fought in Vietnam. Nine years in the Army of his own, along with PTSD, long-suffering, and too many military funerals, taught him that green was the color of the uniform: conflict, battle, war. So when he learned that Akiane Kramarik painted green to represent peace, his jaw dropped. Standing before *Prince of Peace*, he felt Jesus’ eyes meet his like beams of green light, and peace wrapped around him like the arms of God. His #iam\_beloved story is a word of hope for every veteran still waiting to know peace. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: John Sheridan - Full Transcript I joined the US Army back in 1989, and after basic training got sent to Panama, in a unit that was called to action when Manuel Noriega declared war on the United States of America. I spent a total of nine years in the US Army. My father was on an underwater demolition team stationed aboard an aircraft carrier; he also became part of SEAL Teams One and Two, so he was at the start of the US Navy SEAL Team program. My grandfather on my mom’s side, PFC Norman Oaks, served in World War II as a US Army liaison driver — he greeted and picked up General Patton and drove him across Europe to his first duty station, and he was part of the Allied forces’ liberation teams that freed Nazi death camps in Germany. My other grandfather fought in the field artillery against the Nazis. I have several uncles, four of whom fought in the Vietnam War; my Uncle Ray Oaks came back having been awarded two Purple Hearts. So I came from a whole family of military veterans. Green was the color of the uniform we were ordered to wear, and so green, to us as a family and to me, represented conflict among nations — war, battle. Akiane said green represented peace. My jaw dropped. I thought, where did she get that notion? When they ushered me into that room, it was mesmerizing, because immediately His eyes were like two beams of green light that caught mine. It was like two crystals going right through to my soul, and I was frozen. The presence of God just filled my whole being. I felt peace wrapping around me, as if the Lord were wrapping me in His arms. It was the greatest sense I had ever had in my life. I knew peace in that moment. I’ve seen many of my family members, veterans, buried. Every time I went to a military funeral, of course they have the 21-gun salute, they do the eulogy — and, like my Uncle Ray, being Marine Recon, he didn’t know peace in life. So at the end of every military funeral they would say, “Now he knows peace.” What that does to you mentally is it makes you think: well, I have to die to have peace — there’s no hope for me, I have to die first. Now the impact is, I don’t have to wait until they’re putting me six feet in the ground to know peace. I know peace in here. That real encounter with the Lord — that’s what I encountered. I know peace because He’s a part of my life. I recommend everybody come. My hope and prayer is that any veterans who maybe are suffering with PTSD will experience the same thing I did. It’s changed my life forever. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [#iam_beloved: Amy Lynn Video](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-amy-lynn-video/) **Published:** September 18, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** In 2009, during one of the darkest seasons of her life, Amy Lynn encountered Akiane Kramarik’s painting, Prince of Peace, which transformed her journey of faith. As she navigated a painful divorce, she experienced Jesus in her home, deepening her relationship with God. Intrigued by the painting featured in the book Heaven Is for Real, she purchased a print, unaware that she would later stand before the original at Belóved Gallery. Amy’s #iam_beloved story reveals the unconditional love she felt and the divine presence captured in Akiane’s artwork, making her feel blessed in small-town Marble Falls. **Content:** ## Amy Lynn’s #iam\_beloved Story ##### Finding *Prince of Peace* After the Dark - Video Amy Lynn’s encounter with Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace* began in one of the darkest seasons of her life. In 2009, going through a divorce and going deeper with God, she met the painting through the book *Heaven Is for Real* — and later stood before the original at Belóved Gallery, not realizing it was the very painting whose lost-and-found story she had followed for years. In our latest #iam\_beloved story of faith, Amy shares what it’s like to feel that unconditional love. Watch her story below, then read it in her own words. ***“Jesus really is a real person that you can have a relationship with.”*** — Amy Lynn ##### About This Story Amy Lynn first met Akiane Kramarik’s *Prince of Peace* in 2009, during a divorce and a dark season in which she experienced Jesus appearing in her home. Reading the book *Heaven Is for Real* to her young son, she recognized Akiane’s painting in its pages and went out and bought a print right away. Years later, invited to Belóved Gallery, she didn’t realize she was about to stand before the original — the very painting whose lost-and-found story she had followed. Her #iam\_beloved story is about unconditional love, and about feeling the presence of God in Akiane’s landscapes and portraits, right in small-town Marble Falls. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Meet Amy Lynn - Full Transcript I had had my own personal experience with Jesus, and that painting just really spoke to me. It was in 2009 — I was really struggling in my life, in a very dark season. I was going through a divorce, and Jesus appeared to me in my house. I was going deeper with God in my walk and really developing a personal relationship with Him. I was reading the book *Heaven Is for Real* to my young son at the time, and when I got to the back of the story and saw that the painting in there was Akiane’s, I was so intrigued. I went out and bought the painting right away. The first time I was invited to come to the gallery, I didn’t realize it was going to be the original — and I knew the story, because I had followed how the painting was lost and then found. That experience with Jesus is so hard to explain. You just feel the unconditional love. It’s easy to say that Jesus is all about love and that we’re supposed to love people, but when you really get to experience how much He truly loves each of us, unconditionally, there really aren’t words for it. You want everybody to have it, because it’s so amazing. Jesus really is a real person you can have a relationship with. Coming to the gallery and experiencing all the different artwork she has — she does an amazing job of capturing the beauty of the earth that God created. You can stand and look at her landscapes, the universe paintings, the paintings with people, and you can’t help but feel the presence of God in them. Even if you’re not a faith-based person, it’s just something — like seeing one of the wonders of the world right there. I just felt so blessed that here in little small-town Marble Falls, we had something so amazing. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [#iam_beloved: Meet Hadarah Belle](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-meet-hadarah-belle/) **Published:** March 21, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Imagine the wonder and awe of encountering a presence so pure and comforting that even as a young child, your heart is forever transformed. Meeting Jesus face-to-face in Heaven would feel like being transformed into a space where Divine love and hope surround you—an experience that would stay etched in your soul forever. This was exactly what little Hadarah Belle encountered. **Content:** #### \#iam\_beloved Sharing Stories of Faith ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/unnamed.png) ## Meet Hadarah Belle Imagine the wonder and awe of encountering a presence so pure and comforting that even as a young child, your heart is forever transformed. Meeting Jesus face-to-face in Heaven would feel like being transformed into a space where Divine love and hope surround you—an experience that would stay etched in your soul forever. This was exactly what little Hadarah Belle encountered. At the age of three, Hadarah Belle dreamt about Heaven. Her family had recently moved to a brand new home, and she was feeling grief from the loss of the extended family and friends they had left behind. At times, she would wake up crying at night. Her parents prayed for God to heal Hadarah’s heart. One night, Hadarah woke crying, and her mother rushed into the room to comfort her, thinking she was still struggling with her grief. But this time, Hadarah was crying for a different reason. “I was in Heaven, and it felt like 100 years. I want to go back to Heaven right now. I want to fall asleep again so I can see Jesus.” Can you imagine meeting Jesus face-to-face as a child? [ ![A young girl in a white dress with a gray sash sits on a wooden bench against a plain wall, looking thoughtfully to the side.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Hadarah-Belles-iam_beloved-Story_video-full-1024x576.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-hadarah-belle-video/) Now five years old, Hadarah shares about her incredible journey to Heaven, where an unexpected encounter with her older sister revealed the miraculous nature of her visit. The first time Hadarah saw *Prince of Peace,* she said, “That’s my Jesus!” She shared with her mom how Akiane’s painting looked like the face she saw in Heaven. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/unnamed-1.png) At Belóved Gallery, we have received many similar stories from people who have seen Jesus through near-death experiences, dreams, or visions. They have shared that Akiane’s *Prince of Peace* very closely resembles the face they have seen. While there is mystery in this, we can be sure that Jesus reveals Himself to us in personal ways and works through art to connect us to His love and presence.

Look for these stories in the coming months across multiple platforms with the hashtag #iam\_beloved. Keep an eye out for ways you can share your own #iam\_beloved stories, too! ##### PRADEEP & FABIOLA THORAT Pradeep Thorat was shopping in Goodwill when he came across a print of the Prince of Peace painting and purchased it for four dollars. “I knew it was the painting of Jesus,” shared Pradeep. “I brought it home, and Fabiola and I hung it on the wall, right in the middle of our wedding photos.” ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/thorat-photo-gallery-1024x529.png) Born and raised in India, Pradeep saw people have profound experiences and revelations of Jesus who weren’t born into traditional Christianity and didn’t know God. “I grew up in a country with many religions,” Pradeep said. “But, there are stories of Buddhists, Muslims, and Hindus having dreams and encounters with a man named Jesus. Some felt peace they couldn’t understand. One man that was dead for 40 minutes came back and said, ‘I’m not afraid of death now, because I know where I’m going.’ Most described Him as light and immense love.” ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/pradeep-gazing-300x300.png)Fabiola grew up in Mexico, where her family struggled under the weight of having an alcoholic father. Then, when Fabiola was seven, her dad met Jesus. “It was a complete transformation,” she shared. “My dad is a pastor now. He’s 83 and says he will never slow down.” Compelled by God’s goodness, Pradeep and Fabiola have traveled the world doing missions work. Between the two of them, they speak five languages. They are also raising two children. Then, this past spring during their 15-year wedding anniversary, the couple recognized the portrait of Jesus driving past Belóved Gallery’s billboard and came immediately over to take a tour. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/thorat-beloved-gallery-1024x1024.png) “When I saw the original, I had absolute peace that Jesus is revealing himself to us… to people all over the world. To children,” shared Pradeep with team Belóved. [![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/testimony-pradeep-fabiola-300x300.png)](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-the-throats-video/)Watch Pradeep and Fabiola’s testimony.We already know that God is with us, He is for us, He’s our father. But when you see that painting, you feel like it’s real,” Fabiola added. “It’s beautiful the way Akiane shows Heaven through her paintings.” Not long after, the Thorats returned with their church group and even translated the tour for some of the guests. They also attended the Belóved Gala, where Pradeep prayed on stage in his mother tongue of Marathi. The couple continues to be huge advocates of Belóved Gallery’s mission. “It’s remarkable the way Akiane created the painting. The hairs on his chest, the detail. She genuinely had an encounter with Jesus,” Pradeep reflects. “People all over the world are seeking answers, seeking Jesus. They enter into His presence, and something changes in the human heart the moment that happens. When people come and stand in the room with the Prince of Peace, I know they can have that moment.” ##### More #iam\_beloved [![John Sheridan and his wife sitting on a bench at Beloved Gallery, reflecting on Akiane Kramarik’s faith-inspired art.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/1-1024x536.png)](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-meet-veteran-john-sheridan/)### [ #iam\_beloved: Meet Veteran John Sheridan ](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-meet-veteran-john-sheridan/) May 24, 2024 [![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2-1024x536.png)](https://belovedgallery.org/iam-beloved-meet-april-cyrus/)### [ #iam\_beloved: Meet April & Cyrus ](https://belovedgallery.org/iam-beloved-meet-april-cyrus/) April 26, 2024 [![A man in a light blue shirt sits in an art gallery, with paintings and text on the walls behind him, including the phrase “Who is He?” A portrait of a bearded man is visible in the background.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/John-Burke-Iam_beloved-video-interview-1024x576.jpg)](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-meet-john-burke/)### [ #iam\_beloved: Meet John Burke ](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-meet-john-burke/) April 15, 2024 Page1[Page2](https://belovedgallery.org/iam-beloved-pradeep-fabiola/?e-page-96c0c6b=2&action=as_async_request_queue_runner&nonce=e0051a8039)[Page3](https://belovedgallery.org/iam-beloved-pradeep-fabiola/?e-page-96c0c6b=3&action=as_async_request_queue_runner&nonce=e0051a8039) **SUPPORT OUR MISSION** **Invite** Continue to partner with Belóved Gallery by telling 50 of your friends and family about your experience!

In this #iam\_beloved reflection, the students describe what it was like to stand before Akiane Kramarik’s paintings — including *Prince of Peace* — and to be surprised by what the art unlocked in them. Watch their story below, then read their reflections. *“I saw my grandma’s eyes. I haven’t seen your eyes since I was nine years old.” — Antonian College Preparatory student* ##### About This Story A group of students from Antonian College Preparatory High School traveled from San Antonio to Marble Falls to tour *Akiane: The Early Years*, and were surprised when Akiane Kramarik herself met them at the gallery. One of their teachers, Keith Needham, bought a troubled student a signed print of *Prince of Peace*; a week later, another student’s family quietly handed him an envelope to reimburse the gift, saying that day had changed their lives. Needham described watching forty students cry — not from sentimentality, he said, but from something deeper and eternal. For these young artists, the visit opened their minds to new possibilities and, as several put it, unlocked memories and emotions they didn’t know were there. Their #iam\_beloved story is a witness to what happens when a generation encounters the art up close. Video Transcript ##### \#iam\_beloved: Antonian College Preparatory - Full Transcript We’re at the Belóved Gallery in Marble Falls. I could see that all of her paintings have meaning behind them. As an eighteen-year-old, I just couldn’t fathom how she could have these visions and put them onto canvas. It just really blew my mind. “Infinite Perspective” — I found it very beautiful. What she was saying is that you can understand anything with just enough perspective, and I find that very true. They had the Missing Years. I never thought about that — how did Jesus look when He was a teenager? “I am the *Prince of Peace*.” I saw my grandma’s eyes; I haven’t seen your eyes since I was nine years old. I just stood and stared at it for a while, like one last time. The eyes are very familiar. Wow — this is beyond human. It really opens up your mind to possibilities. It means so much to me. Seeing the way you walk around the gallery — taking in the poetry, the descriptions, the artwork — when I had the chance to see the painting, I feel complete as an artist, and I want to create more throughout my life. I felt very boxed in, and after viewing all these beautiful pieces, it’s opening my mind to better ideas and future opportunities. It hits me deep in my soul. You will probably find out something about yourself that you didn’t know was there. You’ll see the paintings and it’ll unlock a memory or an emotion. It brings out a part of you that you didn’t know existed. I would encourage you to come with close friends — it’ll bring you all closer together. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you have to experience. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [#iam_beloved: Meet Brian Alarid](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-meet-brian-alarid/) **Published:** November 25, 2025 **Author:** Alaina Wood **Excerpt:** Discover the inspiring I AM Belóved story of Brian Alarid as he shares a powerful moment of faith, purpose, and calling at Belóved Gallery. **Content:** #### \#iam\_beloved Sharing Stories of Faith ![Brian Alarid at Belóved Gallery sharing his I AM Belóved story](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-25-at-12.03.56-PM-1024x575.png) ### The Power of Prayer: Meet Brian Alarid When Brian Alarid’s 12-year-old daughter, Chloe, was hospitalized for intense pain, his life and mission were changed by the power of prayer.

Again and again, we hear how Akiane’s portrayal of Jesus resonates profoundly, awakening something eternal in those who stand before it. For many, it is the humanity in his eyes that speaks the loudest, reminding them that He understands, He sees, and He walks with us still. Prophetic art is created in prayerful partnership with God to convey His heart, insight, or encouragement through visual imagery. One guest’s story comes from Dana Sleger, the daughter of a prophetic artist, who helps explain what many guests feel about Akiane’s work — that a painting can do more than just depict — it can minister. Together with her mother, Dana visited Belóved Gallery to experience Akiane’s work firsthand. The two were deeply moved by Akiane’s story of being commissioned at a young age and her courage in painting for God. They left even more convinced of the unique role art plays in connecting people to their Divine Creator. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dana-1-1024x717.png) Watch as Dana recounts her visit to Belóved Gallery with her mother, explains the true nature of prophetic art, and shares why Akiane’s work impacts the world in profound ways.

At Belóved Gallery, Akiane’s *Prince of Peace* has seen such moments, meeting people in the exact season they are walking through, encouraging them on their journey. For artist Tiffany Joy, that moment came soon after she moved to Austin. Having walked through a difficult season, without work and unsure of her next steps, Tiffany felt adrift. But when she encountered the *Prince of Peace* painting in person, she felt God’s gentle reminder, “I am with you. I have not left you.” Sometimes we can feel lost on the path—unsure if we’ve taken a wrong turn, missed God’s direction, or failed in some way. In those moments, He continues to walk beside us. How incredible that God so often reminds us of this through the beauty around us, in a painting that awakens memory, in music that lifts the soul, and in nature that whispers of His presence. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Tiffany-Joy-Iam_beloved-Sept-2025-V-e1757457008500-1024x1024.jpg) Tiffany’s story reflects what many experience at Belóved Gallery, that art, when offered in partnership with God, can do more than inspire—it ministers, heals, and reminds us of eternal truth. We invite you to watch Tiffany Joy share her story and find encouragement in how God used Akiane’s art to remind her that He is always with us and for us.

I am always curiously looking for where I can enjoy great coffee and special places, which is how I found Belóved Gallery. My first impression when I saw the Prince of Peace painting was specifically the eyes of Jesus. It left me with tremendous impact to know that someone so little can create such a magnificent and remarkable painting, and I always wondered looking at the Prince of Peace what was going through Akiane’s mind every time she decided to paint. Thank you, Akiane, for giving me such a beautiful experience. EN ESPAÑOL Mi nombre es Laura.

We’re excited to share that Akiane Kramarik was recently featured on *The Lila Rose Show.* This powerful conversation, she reflects on her childhood vision of Jesus, painting Prince of Peace at just eight years old, and how her faith has guided her journey ever since. Lila Rose’s thoughtful interview offers a meaningful glimpse into the heart behind Akiane’s work and the message that continues to impact people around the world. Video Transcript ##### Lila Rose Show E314 — Akiane Kramarik ###### How An 8-Year-Old Painted America's Most Famous Image of Jesus **Intro** At 8 years old, you had visions and you painted probably the most famous painting in the world of Jesus Christ. When I first received some of these visions, I didn’t know what Jesus was. I didn’t know what God was. I was so exhausted from searching. And I’m putting my hands up in the air. I’m like, if you really want me to paint this face, just send him through the front door. And I heard a knock on the door. Showcasing this painting was very difficult. A lot of people despised it. They called it blasphemous. As a child they told me to burn all my paintings. Akiane, who are these people? Professors, teachers, neighbors, and friends. There’s another event though that happens where the painting gets lost for years, decades, for decades. I am crying at this point. Does this painting match up with the Shroud of Turin? It is one of the most accurate representations of the Shroud of Turin. Akiane, at 8 years old, you had visions of the face of Jesus, and you painted what is probably the most famous painting in the world of Jesus Christ. Why do you think God gave you those visions and that inspiration to paint Prince of Peace? I think he gave that to me because he knew that I was ready and he knew that I would not quit until his message would be shared. And from the very beginning at 3 and a half, four years old when I got that vision, it was a very, it was so bright. It was such a very clear message and it was this unwavering faith, this unconditional love and eternal life. And that was that message that I wanted to share to everyone. There’s so much I want to ask you about how you received that vision, your childhood. Your artwork is absolutely stunning. I first saw Prince of Peace 15 years ago walking into a friend’s house in Virginia and she had her family had this huge print out of Prince of Peace and I remember looking at him his eyes and just feeling seen by Jesus. That’s the power of what God inspired you to do and I know that’s touched millions and millions of people. So you said three and a half years old you had the first vision. Yes. Tell me what happened. What What was that like? When I first received some of these visions and dreams, I knew that it was important, but I didn’t understand or comprehend entirely why. So, until I received a very clear portrait of this of this being, even my four-year-old self is I’m still trying to develop some of my little my my sketching, my doodles, but I knew in that ex very moment that oh, I need to draw this out somehow. I need to put it on paper because I can’t I want to show this but I can’t show what’s inside my head. So when I had that initial experience, I was so determined to draw it whatever and how how long how how long it will take. It didn’t matter to me. I’m like I needed to draw it quickly before it would fade away. So, that was my mission. That was my mission. So, I’m going to go through some of that. You call it doodles. It’s really phenomenal for a four-year-old what you drew. We’re going to look at it in a minute. But first, to set the stage, tell me about your childhood. My childhood was very different, very **Poverty and Imagination** unique in its own right. My mother was an immigrant from Lithuania and she was very determined to bring her children to this world very different than how she was brought up and her and my father who you know my father was an American from Chicago. He was also a non he was a nonpracticing Catholic. My mom was an atheist and but they both mutually shared a vision of bringing their kids into the world with just lots of care and love and freedom to explore the environments. Even though we had no money, we we were extremely poor. You would just say we were in poverty. Uh we had no television, no books, no um no barely any food on the table. We had no furniture. We would have uh we would all sleep on the floor and there were like our place was constantly flooded and with uh with w with um rainwater and my dad got severe sick. um lots of pesticide poisoning and the field that was next door and I got sick as well. And so it was around this whole entire time of unpredictability of lots of lots of nonaccessibility of foods and and environments. My family made it feel like we were made it it felt like we were the richest people in the world because they gave us this love. They gave us an environment. We felt it was an adventure. And I think that mindset is powerful for a child that doesn’t really have anything tangible, anything um like that. So that was the starting point of my whole entire life where I had that strong foundation and I utilized everything that I we had on hand. I would go to the fields and braid the flowers and I’m like look at the flowers and I would try to um you know try to redraw them on my on on the floors or on my hands. I would I would just the whole world was my canvas and I think that was that was so powerful for me and and really needed for me as a child. That’s incredible. I I I’m so curious about your mother for a moment. What did that look like and how your mother interacted with you guys? And and was she a stay-at-home mother? Was she She was full-time with us and she wanted it that way. And of course she had other startup businesses within her own home country in Lithuania. But the moment that she had her children, she was like, I want to spend every moment of my day with them. Of course, my father worked three to four jobs and I barely saw him. Uh, you know, it was he was working extremely hard to make um ends meet. But my mother being there, she you we would wake up truly with this aspect of this day is going to be a new adventure. Let’s go explore. Let’s go. And and we always had this anchor in the house. We always had wherever we would go run around the house and go explore outside, she would always be there. Anything, any idea, any dream, she would always be there. She would always listen. And she would always if we had some you know ideas she would okay let’s write it down. So we she would write down our ideas and I think it was like that full trust that she is that anchor. She will always be there. So we that was truly very very important for us kids. I grew up with um at the time I had two older brothers but because of the lack of you know food and like finances my mom had this incredible she was an incredible genius in her own right. She was a businesswoman as well. So she had this idea to start up uh a business during when when we were young and and through the both the support of my mom and my dad they both came together and we were able to come out of that environment that poverty environment we were able to get finally a place to have a bed and play and and a home. **Started Drawing/Painting** How old were you when you first started to paint? I first started to paint. So painting with actual paints came a little bit later around like 7 years old, but I started drawing at three. And I knew I had to almost like in my mind I knew I had to perfect black and white before I went into color. I know this is sounds really strange but like I had this um determination and I challenged myself like I need to first perfect black and white and color will always come easier but black and white is in is a lot harder if you because it’s the shadings you have to almost translate colors into grays into all these different white to black spectrums and that’s hard to do. So, I was trying to challenge myself to do that. And so, I made a determination before I got into colors. I’m going to go black and white. If I did not have black and white charcoals or pencils, I would I would use food in the house. Yes. I would use food. I would, you know, have there was like um a fireplace that we used to have and I would take some of the burnt wood and I would use that and I would um draw on the fireplace mantle and yeah, whatever I had on hand I would I would use. But you had in your mind I want to perfect black and white before I go to color like even and you were like three or four. I was Yeah. Three and a half four. I I know it’s strange. Where did that idea where do you think that idea came from? I wish I could tell you, but I I feel like it was just ingrained in me. I I think it was um I think it was just a step that I knew that I needed to to over overcome. I don’t know. It’s it was installed in me. I in my DNA. I just felt it. I guess that’s probably the best way to say it. Did you have a model as a young girl of an artist, a painter, someone that you looked up to that was accomplishing these beautiful works of art so that you even knew that that was something that you could strive for? The short answer is no. I did not have any role models or anybody that I could truly look up to or this this idol of this painter, this artist. I just knew that I just I just had my own world. I had no TV, no books. So, I I had no representation of what it would look like. I just had this yearning though, this un this such this um indescribable desire and this curiosity for that world. But I didn’t have any book or TV or any kind of magazine reference of the what this person this this uh this idea would look like. **The day 20 cops showed up…** When do you remember first meeting or experiencing God? For sure that there was a pivotal moment of my life. I think I was 5 and a half years old when something did happen where both my parents to this day they still felt that this was a a miraculous event and coming from my experience it was an event that took place on a very very simple day. I was uh it was a very sunny outside and I just remember being inside and this this feeling felt like my my I was standing or I don’t remember I just felt like my soul just being like like drifted upwards and cut to about 7 hours later there are 20 to 30 police cars around the whole house. My parents frantically looking for me and long story short, I was gone. I was missing and uh a lot a lot of the the police dogs were called, the police was go called, the neighbors, there was a search for a potential kidnapping. There was my parents was my brothers. They were all searching for me and I was nowhere to be found. And my dad is a I would say he’s a very very good at finding things. He could find a little a little mouse in the in the middle of a field. He’s extremely gifted in that and he could not find his only daughter. That that totally brought their world upside down. That’s that day was one of the pivotal moments because I remember after this whole 7-hour ordeal, I remember just coming back into reality, I guess, and just walking walking towards my mom and I see her talking with a a police officer and she looked at me and then she couldn’t believe it. She looked at me twice and then she just bolted towards me and she shook me and she was like, “Where have you been? Where were you?” And I was very exhausted. I was I was 5 and a half at this point and I was super exhausted. I just remember just telling her, “I have so much to do. I’m tired, but I have a mission. I have so much to do.” To this day, that that experience was we don’t know exactly what happened, how it happened. My parents and everyone involved said I was not there. I was nowhere to be found. I remember telling her though right after the incident that I was shown many things. I was shown many doors to different lives and I was shown very various events I guess the best way to describe it. Uh I still don’t know the answers of what truly happened but that experience was a huge catapult to a domino effect to what my life would transform to. And since that day, my mom and my dad, they truly got down on their knees. And after hugging me, and they didn’t stop hugging me for like an hour, they truly felt that this was in a way like a message from God that, you know, I’m there with them again. and and they decided to whatever mission I was meant to do, they would support it 100%. And that was a very pivotal moment for my parents to stand by me. Akiane, where did you go? You just shared how you felt like this power, this warmth lifting you almost from your body. 7 hours later, you were missing. They couldn’t find you anywhere. They looked everywhere. You were nowhere. And then you were very tired and you walked into your mother’s arms. Where where were you in during the seven hours? I wish I could tell you the answer, but I just remember I remember there was just it felt that I was gone for like hundreds of years. I know it’s very hard to wrap your head around, but there was no specific place. I couldn’t tell you what this place was. It was a it was a timeless place that had all the answers right in front of me. Had a lot of doors. It had a lot of events from the past, present, and the future. And I could not wrap my vocabulary enough to describe what I was experiencing to my parents. All I said was like I felt that I I had so much to do. I seen so much and I I needed to do a lot of things. Was Jesus there? it. God was there and Jesus was all around like but I didn’t know what Jesus was. You weren’t raised in a I didn’t know what God was. I I didn’t know what this this word was, but it was all-encompassing. Later down the road, that’s when I put the two tune pieces together. Oh, this was God. Oh, this was Jesus. And when you say I I just have to drill down a little bit more because it’s truly remarkable. I mean, it’s miraculous. Was there like a wooded area by your home where you could have theoretically like walked off in this sort of like vision-like state and then like fallen asleep under a bush? I mean, do you have any sort of like Oh, I have definitely done my like research. I was I was absolutely trying to figure that out myself. I went down a memory lane road. I went down I revisited the house. I revisited the place. I was trying to go back in time and try to figure things out with my whole family. You must not have been in the house cuz they probably looked in every closet under every bed. And that’s the most interesting part about it. The last thing that I remembered was being in my bedroom. Wow. And but they had checked your bedroom when they were searching for you. The whole the whole house was upside down. Like the beds and everything, all the closet, everything was open. Like there were dozens of police officers there. And I remember at the end when I was I think my mom I think my mom was holding me on her hip. I remember I’m looking directly into the officer and he says, “I have no answer. I don’t know what happened.” He takes um Smokey the Bear stuffed animal and gave it to me. He says, “I hope this is like a reminder that you truly are like safe.” And I remember holding I still have the Smokey Bear to this day and he and all other officers have no idea what happened. So I’m I’m still trying to figure it out. But all I know that that was very important. It was very pivotal. And I took that as a sign of okay, what is now my purpose? What is my job now? What is my mission now? Like I want to take everything that I’ve experienced and try to translate into a very creative form and creative outlet. When it’s TV time for our kids, which we try to do sparingly, I’m constantly thinking about what they’re watching and whether it’s helping or hurting their formation. That’s why we really love Brave Plus in our household. It’s a streaming service that’s vetted by real Christian parents and only one out of every 20 shows are accepted. Not only do the shows and movies actually align with our biblical values, but more than that, Brave Plus also rejects overstimulating content that’s linked to mental and behavioral issues. And the best part is my kids actually enjoy the shows. If you’re trying to be more intentional about the kind of shows that come into your home, go to brave plus.com/la and use the codela for 7 days free. That’s brave plus.com/la for 7 days free. And when you sign up, let me know what your kids’ favorite show is. They’re going to love it. What was the first time that you told your parents about the visions you were having? **First time telling your parents about the vision?** The first time there was on and off I would say something similar around those ages about between 3 and 4 years old but my vocabulary was very very small at the time. Like I’m still I was trying to figure out the words the correct words. Sometimes if my mom was not there, I would tell to my older brothers uh because we all shared the same bedroom and I would sometimes wake my older brother Jeanlu or Delini and I’m like, “Hey, I saw this. Do you want me to tell you what this was?” And and they would just open their eyes and yeah, go ahead. And then they would drift off back to sleep. Sweet story. But my mom was the one that was my confidant and she would write everything down in her journal. And so yeah, around three and a half, four years old. And then after the incident at 5 and 1/2 were you miraculously effectively disappear and have these incredible visions and experiences after that, after you told your parents that, how did your life change? I I would say definitely very drastically because now it became very important, very serious to everyone now and especially my parents. And I think from that point on my mom decided to quit her job completely. And that’s when that’s what helped us get to um you know home to have a home and and and be very comfortable. But she decided you know this is what I think this is what God wants. So, she decided to quit her job and be full-time with me and her kids. She says that I think this was an answer that she was looking for. And I think from that point on is when I started to really hone in on my techniques. And I I loved the idea of right after I I would do something in the morning, I would just run up and I would just share it to my brothers or my my mom. says, “This is what I did today.” And I’m like, “Ah, gosh, it’s not good enough.” So, I rip it out and I I do another one. I do another sketch. This is what I did today. Ah, it’s not good enough. So, I would I would be so such a perfectionist that now anything that I would see in my head and if it did not correlate it correctly on this on the the paper, I would just rip it up. And long and behold, thank goodness for my mom, she would take those sketches out of the trash. She would and then put them in a a folder and she saved them. And that’s why I still have some of my sketches here today. We’re going to look at those in a minute. They’re absolutely amazing. It’s all amazing. **How did you learn to paint?** What was the process as you were having these visions, especially after these events at 5 and a half? What was your process for painting? Because you were not classically trained. You didn’t have some, you know, famous painter who was sitting down with you at as a child and teaching you technique. I would say that by 6 and 1/2 years old, I knew that I was getting close to being in quotes ready for collars. So, I asked my mom and dad to bring me to some of the art supply stores. And I would just only pick very few colors, like four or five colors. And I would actually once again challenge myself, what can I do with these four colors, five colors? And I would take them home. And uh first it was oil pastels and then I I experimented with acrylics and then I went back and started doing with oils. **How she painted THE painting** And I felt that I needed to at least be ready and prepared to when this portrait of love comes back to me in a vision that I’ll be ready to paint it again. And at at by this time I felt that I’m having these techniques and I’m having these um this journey of becoming an artist but I was still waiting for this vision to come back to me and I finally did. This is the vision of the portrait of like love that I would I would describe to my face. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. So by seven I’m like okay I got this this full clear image full clear image like it was hyperdetailed hyper realistic and I’m looking at it and I’m oh wow I’m looking at my hands I’m like I need to start I need to start now I asked my mom and my dad I’m like please can you just drive me to um some of these you know restaurants or these bus stops, schools, or or someplace that I can try to look for models now. Like, I have this face, but I still need a I still need a model to represent, you know, some of the shades and the lights of this um this image that I see. And months goes by and I’m like, “Oh, no. This is this is not good.” I have it in my head. I just Would you go would she take you drive you around town? Oh, yeah. She would take me everywhere just to look at men. Literally, I would be at the park and I would just like look and I was just like, “Nope, that’s not it. That’s not it.” I would go to grocery stores just I just I was trying to immerse myself in a position where there were a lot more people. I was I would people watch. Was the idea that if you kind of scoured town and you found a man who looked like this vision that you would go up to him and say, “Can you be my model?” That was was that the idea? That was the idea I had. I was seven years. My mother was like, “Yeah, we’re doing this.” Akiane. Oh, yeah. She was so on board. She was so on board. Well, after the 5 and 1/2 year incident, she’s like, “I’m I’m up for anything at this point.” So on board. And she’s like, “I would absolutely assist in in trying to talk for for you for them.” And I’m like, “Thank you. Thank you.” But after a few months, I I just could not I had no luck on finding that right model. And there was at one point I’m in my home and I literally I literally like was so exhausted from searching and I’m like putting my hands up in the air. I’m like, “If you really want me to paint this face, just send him through the front door. I’m so exhausted. Just if if that’s really what you want me to paint.” And I said that almost out of like it was out of exhaustion. And I was like, if this is meant to be, it’s meant to be. Long and behold, I didn’t realize my my message came out really clear. And I heard a knock on the door. And your front door? On my front door. And I opened it and I looked up and it was almost this 6 and 1/2t, 7 foot tall man standing in front of the doorway. And he looked and he says, “Oh, I heard someone is looking for a model. I’m here.” And I was looking. I’m like, “Oh my goodness, this is that’s him.” The I was I would almost say this in Lithuanian. Theis the meaning Theus. It’s like that’s him. That’s him. I I would say that to my mom was right there. I’m like, “That’s him. That’s him.” and but he was under the impression that the artist would be an adult, not a 8-year-old girl. So, it was really um a really funny experience of how me trying to convince this this uh this man to agree to model and it turned out after a lot of conversing and he explained and that he also was a carpenter himself and after some time passed and he agreed to model for me and that’s when the Prince of Peace painting started a carpenter like Jesus Christ, our Lord. Yeah. How incredible. I’m still pinching myself because I can’t if you really just look back in time like all the pieces coming together and all those it just it has to be a reason why. There’s it’s for a purpose that’s way beyond me that I could not have foreseen. And I’m just feel I felt at the time that I was just trying my best to be the best version I can for this part. That was Yeah. So he this carpenter gentleman shows up. He looks exactly like the image in your mind’s eye or was it slight was there any difference? Any There was everything that I needed for in a model. The image that I had in mind was of course it was a lot it was definitely a little bit more different but it was exactly what I needed. And I think that was the key was because it allowed me to almost it felt like the best way I could describe it is like almost like put clothing on like a skin like it their skin is there, the hand is there, but I could put any kind of sleeve, any kind of attire. It had that essence where now I could start building. I could start sculpting. And that’s what that’s what I needed and that’s what he was for me. And how long once you got your model, how long did it take you to complete Prince of Peace. 40 hours, but it felt like 40 years for me. I lost four teeth during the process and that was How do you lose that? I was eight years old and I looks like I was still was still losing my teeth. But um yeah, it took 40 hours and it it took everything out of me. **It took everything out of her** It took so much out of me that I felt that I was I made my studio almost like my bedroom where I would wake up. I would paint virtually not eat or drink and I would still I’ll paint, go back and sleep on sometimes on the floor, sleep on my chair. I would be very invested in that uh in that moment, in that experience because I wanted to give everything. I wanted to give my heart, my soul, my hands, my my time cuz I knew it was important, but I I just didn’t know the scope of it, if that makes sense. We’re going to get into what happens next with this incredible painting and then the trajectory your life has taken, which is truly miraculous. But you’re eight years old and you’re acting like a you are I mean at this point a professional painter. You this is absorbing every moment of your waking consciousness and you’re dreaming and you’re this is 100% what you’re pouring your heart into. And your parents are on board. They want to support this and they feel called by God even to support this. What happened with school at this point? You know, were your brothers in school? Did you drop out of school? Was there homeschool happening? How did they set up your life so that you could focus so beautifully on your work? That was the most beautiful thing about my family that we had that opportunity to experiment with different schools and we tried public, private, Catholic, Christian. We tried um parochial and we we tried a lot but a very short amount of time like maybe a few months maybe a year or two but there was one day I think around 7 and a half where I you know I came back from school and we lived in Colorado at the time and I had my backpack on. put my backpack on the floor and I looked at my mom and I’m like I feel that my time could be in my studio and I if you’re okay with it but I don’t want to go to school anymore and she was like absolutely I’ll take you out and that’s what she did. She took me out my and truly it was like the decision I think it was because I was really really determined to like I really wanted to spend time in my studio and and she allowed me and what parent does that that’s that foresight that she and my my dad had is I think is very very admirable and it allowed me to spend more time in the studio and so did my brothers. They also had that option like hey do you want to do this? Absolutely go ahead. You don’t want to okay no matter where we were in our educational life they allowed us to choose. However, at the core of it, when we were not um in school, I guess we were full we were homeschooled. And I would say it was a very untraditional way of homeschooling, I guess, because there was a lot of traveling. There was a lot of like anytime my mom or my dad would uh in, you know, do their own businesses, they would always involve us. They would always teach us about how to start, how to just beginning to end of what this lifestyle was. And so we were involved in all these um very important decision-makings at 7 years old, 8 years old. And they involved us with everything. And I think that was we thought it was very exciting. We thought it was wow we have a decision in this matter. That’s amazing. So, yeah, you were and you were a family unit. You did things for each other together. Yeah. And you had the freedom to follow calls and longings. And it’s it’s an absolutely beautiful way to grow up. And I think it’s inspiring to me. And I’m sure someone listening right now is really inspired thinking, “Wow, that’s a beautiful way to parent.” Oh, I I really hope that I could mirror some of those teachings. And I think that, you know, having the ability to travel and involve your kids with everything, I think they inadvertently would love that and need that. And I think that’s so I think that’s probably why I enjoyed it. I loved it. So, what was it like when you after those grueling 40 hours, one of your first oil paintings, you complete Prince of Peace. What was it like to look at what you had just created? I remember pulling an all-nighter, and after I finished signing my name, I sat on the floor and I looked at it and it became my eyes started like fatiguing and I I started twitching almost. So I was absolutely exhausted. But I knew that oh now is the time to showcase it to the world. **Where everything went south…** After a lot of discussions with my brothers and my parents and they ultimately supported the idea of displaying this to an exhibition and that’s when everything started is when I started exhibiting this piece to people and I would be this is something a lot of people don’t know; **Major pushback** But in the beginning I it was showcasing this painting was very difficult and a lot of people did not like it. They despised it. They called it blasphemous. They called me a devil’s child. They called me a fraud. Uh they told me to burn all my paintings. They told me that I should stop painting and this was directed towards my face as an 8-year-old. So, that probably wasn’t the first step that I anticipated. I guess that’s probably It was It was hard. It was very hard. And especially when I try to open my doors, my home to all these people and come and take a look at my artwork and they would just almost walk away with indifference or disgust. And you know that was the first eye opening experience that oh this is not going to be as easy as I thought it was going to be. So I once again took it as a challenge to myself like okay what how can I armor myself? How can I be stronger with all these arrows pointing at me? It’s of course I’m going to be vulnerable to it. Of course I’m I was only a child and there was at a point where I did stop painting because I felt okay. I’ve done my duty. I’ve done my responsibility. I you know I guess they’re right at some you know there was moments that I felt that but Akana who are these people that would come into the art gallery where Prince of Peace was hanging and you’d be there you know to show your painting and you’d have just patrons of the arts come and basically effectively spit in your face. I mean was that what you were is that what you experienced? Pretty much. Pretty much. And it’s um it’s not just random people as well. It was these very high educated art professors and teachers and patreons of the art pretty much and neighbors and friends like that is a whole other ball game when friends and you would you thought they were friends would say to your face but they did. What was the reason behind all of that animist? If you can if you know or can speculate. Was it because they thought your technique was too unusual or they thought that painting an image of the son of God of Jesus was in itself somehow bad? I mean what what were their justifications? I could speculate on a few. Uh, of course my parents have another perspective, but they truly feel that this was, you know, a lot of negative spirits trying to attack me when satanic attack. Yeah, that’s they have a full and of course I feel the same way and I I felt the same way and I think in their my speculation is that of well at the time I thought okay it was probably my technique it’s not good enough it’s it’s maybe I have to do this maybe I have to do that and maybe the message was I need to say more clearer and maybe it’s this and of course I speculated and maybe I could do better on this but at the end of the this whole exper the the that experience I I literally sat down and prayed and I’m like no actually this is this is the right um this is the right message this is the right painting this is I’m I’m giving everything I have I’m giving my soul I’m quite literally displaying it right now um so I I definitely it There are a lot of speculations but I can’t give you a definite answer because these are coming from everyone from all walks of life from all religions and it is different when for example um I was very very passionate about showcasing this uh at that time and during this whole endeavor. **The art agent scam** I/we hired an art agent and this art agent was supposed to be the person that would protect and show this message of love to the world with my, you know, with all of the things that I wanted to share. But it turns out it was he had an a different a motive and he called it called it blasphemous. He did not like any of my paintings to the point that it was um I think when my mom described it, he almost scratch scratched my painting in disgust. And after wanting to display it, he decided, I’m taking it. So he took my painting, the Prince of Peace painting, and did not want to give it back. He said, this is mine, and no one’s going to see this painting. And I did not expect that. Okay, so we have we have a a very poor replica. I want to have this on the side so people can take a look. So here’s Prince of Peace. It makes me want to weep looking at this image. Um cuz I see our Lord and I think obviously who could have beheld our Lord in the time when he actually walked on earth and he’s in eternal glory, but he’s with us all the time, right? Too. But um so your art agent took he stole he stole yeah your painting at this time. Were you nine by this point? I was probably around eight and a half. You were still eight. Eight and a half. So he steals the painting and then he locks it up for how long? So this is the because my parents were the ones that were trying to they were in the middle of this extreme negotiation and this crisis and I remember talking and I’m like we we have to get it back. We have to get it back. And and under the contract like it was it it was such a messy situation and he refused to give it back. And after a lot of prayers and a lot of conversations with my parents, there was something that happened that my mom called and dur after that conversation, he agreed to send it back. But it was How long did he have it for? I don’t recall. It was just It felt like forever. Like it felt like this battle was going on forever. And I remember the day that I got it back, it was in a it was in a crate, a wooden crate. How old were you at this point? I was still around eight and a half, almost 9 years old, like around that age. And I remember this is in a wooden crate. Got shipped. We um unscrewed the whole the whole um pal um panel because this is a big painting, right? This is a big paint 40. I think it’s 40 by 60 or something like that. 48 by 60. So it’s like it’s probably as it could fill part of this wall. Oh yeah, for sure. And 30 by 40 or but I took it off. The panel came off and it this is still wet. So oils they take months to dry by the way. This is still wet original painting. And because the wooden crate, a lot of the sawdust got caked inside the paints itself on the on the painting. And I am I am crying at this point. I’m like, “Oh no, my mom is crying.” And we I was like, “Oh, this is not good.” Because if they dry, like all this all this sawdust is going to be um caked in to the paints. So I take these tweezers and I’m on my knees on the concrete outside trying to pick individually all these sawdust for hours. It was it was a mission to get it all of it out, but it was salvaged and you know it was um it was there and all the sawdust was was out well as much as I can you know. So there so there’s there’s two missing moments with our with the painting of our our Jesus. **Lost for…decades?!** So, the first one is your art agent guy basically kidnaps your painting and then doesn’t he hates it. He doesn’t even like it. He kidnaps it. You finally get it back. There’s another event though that happens where the painting of Prince of Peace gets lost for years. Yes. For decades. And for decades. So right after this painting that I got into my possession, I’m like finally I have it in my possession. I don’t want to ever uh have anyone else take it or I want to just display it just for because this this was my purpose. This was my um my wish my goal to share it with the world to share with the world. And I think that was you know ultimately my whole family that was their goal. And so they all decided after a grueling grueling um court battle, we had to um separate with the previous art agent. No joke. No joke. And there was a lot of that that um we had no um resources to separate because if you he mentioned, oh, you can’t get out of this contract. I own you for 12 years, 15 years. You can’t get out of this contract unless you give me this extreme amount of money. And we we had no money like that. So after a lot of the court battling, we were able to able to separate. And at this time, I’m like, “Okay, finally I have this in my possession. I want to display it.” And there was this other person that came with this good quote quote unquote good intentions to display it. And he also became my manager and my art agent. And initially I thought it was a we all thought this was going to be a a great um step. But it turns out after this, we wanted to display this for an exhibition. He sold it without our knowledge behind our backs. And I didn’t know who had it. And ever since then, I didn’t know where it was. So, it was gone. And the face of my earth the, you know, off the face of the earth in my eyes, it was missing. So, I I didn’t know what to do. Like, it was um it was bought. I couldn’t buy it back. Um and you didn’t know who had it. I didn’t know who had it. How how heartbreaking. Yeah. I was 9 years old. And so, and you couldn’t see it again. No. So, a a few questions. First of all, during this time, this is a lot of a lot of challenges for a very young girl in her family to be facing who is entering the art world for the first time. How did you handle such first of all rejection and cruelty quite frankly and then you know basically scam artists you know effectively in the art world and then losing your painting and having it sold out from under you without even knowledge or permission or anything. Um did you have a sense of turning to God for help? Did you feel any consolation? What was going on in your soul? I think the best way I could describe it was after that event, I had this utter sense of I had two lines of thought. I had an utter sense of, oh wow, this is like I I it’s out of my control. I can’t do anything about it. But I have a feeling that it’s going to be okay. Like I have a feeling that this was even though it’s out of my hands, like I feel it’s going to be okay. And I I have this um determination to keep pushing forward and don’t stop. Don’t ever stop. Don’t stop painting. And then of course there was the other side of me like, oh my goodness. like this realization of of course this is absolute sadness that oh this is like you know there was a moment of like loss of hope but I think with the support of my family and that other side of utter determination of don’t stop don’t quit it was the right ingredients to I’m going to keep pushing forward. And I think this is what God wants me to do. And I I had daily walks and prayers with God. And I I the way that I communicate with God is through painting and is through art. And I think it was it’s my it was my own um it was my own conversation. And I think through these hours and hours of every painting, it felt like I was getting more closer and closer and closer to God in my own way. So, you know, even though that this was gone, **Akiane’s dad saving the day** I knew that God wasn’t gone. And also because if we had this we salvaged this one last um scan of this painting and through that scan we were prince of peace of prince of peace before it was sold without our without our knowledge. we were able to make replica, you know, duplicates, replications and jacuz um prints and um so we were able to utilize that one last scan to to share it to share it as much as we can. So my dad made that executive call of he quit his job. He says, “I’m gonna I’m going to help you in any way I can, and this is I know this is your mission, but my mission is protect you and protect everything that you do and my and my family.” That was his mission. So, he and my mom, they both helped me start um my company and my business and we made it our mission to share this painting with the world. And that’s where, you know, Oprah and a lot of the CNN, you know, Fox, they it just spread like wildfire and in such a beautiful way. And slowly but surely, a lot of, you know, books were um I was writing my book and, you know, a lot of um media caught on and it just became such a beautiful domino effect. It is amazing that when this painting was first effectively stolen, then sold without your permission or knowledge, that in a way instigated this openness of well, we’re going to take a digital copy and make it available for everyone to put in their home if they choose or wherever they would like it. And I remember again 15 years ago walking into my friend’s house and they had a replica of course not the original but they had the replica of Prince of Peace above their mantle and they all said they they had him there to remind them that Jesus was always with them and to give them yeah an experience of looking into the eyes of Jesus when they would walk in and out of their home. And I think that has been true for millions of people now including myself. So, thank you for all of the sacrifices and the yes so that you could let people have a window into looking into the face of God. Oh, thank you so much for sharing that. And I will tell you those testimonies that you just shared is what makes me want to get up every morning and go to my studio. And I think this face um brought millions of people to a similar compass, similar calling to never forget that face of love and in their own way. and and I would say it was one of the most beautiful experiences when there are totally different um families at the opposite sides of the world and they’re calling us and contacting us saying I’ve seen this in my vision. I’ve seen this in my dream. You painted him to another person saying, “I’ve lost hope and I was about to end my life tomorrow, but seeing this face made me find hope again.” And to another, like there was just all these influx of so many stories come and to me it was this was much bigger than I bigger than myself that I have ever imagined. And the whole purpose of this painting is, as you can tell, his eyes are green. And the reason why I made them green was obviously because I saw it. But that particular particular hue and color signifies to me the color of peace. So green has like this characteristics of peace in them. And one side of his face is light and the other side of his dark. Because if he’s I wanted to represent the dark side as suffering and trials and the light in his eye and the dark side represents that he’ll always be with us when we are hurting and when we are in a dark place. And the other side of his face is light where it is purity and it is is warmth. It is light. And the whole purpose of his painting was for someone to when they look at it, they could have their own personal conversation with him in their own way, in their own language. And we all deserve to be loved and to love. The other phenomenon I’ve heard expressed and I’ve experienced with this painting is that when you look at the eyes, when you look at the painting, it has this feeling as if the eyes are always looking at you regardless of the angle that you’re looking at the painting. Yes, that how did you accomplish that? I would tell you, you know, I don’t know how to answer that. However, I do recall when I was working on the eyes, cuz I started painting the eyes first before anything else. And I wanted to have that striking gaze that I felt. And of course, in the oils, it the more I worked on the eyes, the more I built on the eyes. So, it has almost like a 3D effect of his eyes um almost protruding from the canvas. And that’s where when someone would see him, especially in person, that wherever you walked, he would always he would always notice you. **Shroud of Turin** I’m sure you’ve heard of the Shroud of Turin. Yes. And there’s so much more evidence coming out about the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and you can glean some of the imaging, you could say, of the face of Jesus Christ, and of course, his body from that. Does this painting match up with the Shroud of Turin? Many say yes and almost in a very very high identical percentage. We were approached many times in the past and they came from a lot of researchers, archaeologists and people who were associated with the shroud of Turan’s u discovery and and um testing and they themselves were the ones that told us that this was this painting was one of it is the mo one of the most accurate representations of the the shroud of Turin. And that was that was so ah that was so wild to hear. That’s to me that is I don’t know I’m very as time goes on I I truly feel that these blessings really feel they just propel me even more and I I feel really blessed to hear that. And the shroud of turn of course with is the burial cloths of Jesus that have been discovered as you said and are being tested and it is an amazing similarity that exists between your painting and what is on the shroud. **Colton Burpo’s Near Death Experience** There’s also been these mystical experiences that some have had even in today’s world recently like the story of the little boy Colton Buro who had a mystical experience and he had a near-death experience. So he had passed away then miraculously came back to life. There’s a whole movie made about his life and books and everything else, but what did he say when he came across your painting? Oh my goodness, that in itself is a whole other a whole other story. And we’re I’m still in contact with him today and with Colton with Colton Burbo. Yes. And during his experience, you know, he had a very very life-threatening situation in his in his childhood, and he did mention that, you know, he met Jesus and his father was determined to try to find a uh a similarity of what this Jesus looked like to his son. And there were many times where he showed him one image, showed him in another, and he’s like, “Nope, that’s not him. No, that’s not him.” And one day, I think it was um during one of my media programs, this painting came up and he showed it to Colton. He says, “Is this him?” He looked at he that’s him. That’s him. And that’s where our relationship connected and you know our families um connected and I was so blessed to be part of his story and his book and also his movie. **The model for the painting** What happened to the carpenter, the man that served as your model for Prince of Peace? I still I still have his contact. I still know about him and I think for uh an he wants to be very anonymous and I really want to keep that anonymous but he’s alive and well and he’s uh there was a point actually it was a really funny story right when I painted this painting and we lived in such a small town there was a point where he was being recognized that he I wore a beanie hat over his hair um because of the striking, you know, striking resemblance. **How the painting impacted the family’s faith** There were so many people that came to my exhibition and it just the word just spread like wildfire and but yeah, you were raised non-religious and your parents or I should say in a non-religious household, your parents were non-religious before this painting. How did the events leading up to the painting and then all of the crazy events since impact their faith? Every single one of my family members, they the all their spiritual journeys got impacted in such a beautiful way. Even though my mother was an atheist and my dad was non-practising Catholic and we were raised in a non-religious household, the events that transpired in my childhood and my drawings and and also the um experiences with my artwork, it brought them all closer to God in their own way. And I think the beauty of it is that seeing from a daughter’s perspective and a sister’s perspective, I see all of them almost navigating their own questions and their own um research. And I think that’s so fascinating and I think that’s what it’s all about in a way because I think spirituality and faith is not supposed to be in a box. It’s not supposed to be a title. It’s supposed to be very personal. I think that you have you have to go deeper into that and I think it’s fascinating to see everyone grow in their own way. **1000 Hours to Make** What was the last vision that you had that you felt inspired to paint? Visions and dreams, they come and go throughout my whole life for sure. And of course, most of the visions were when I was younger, but as time goes on, like I would seek inspiration from real life experiences and and not just the visions and dreams. But I think the last vision, the strongest vision that I had recently, there were a few though. Um, probably the most recognized is probably the um the other painting that I painted at um in 2017 of Jesus. That was the the hyper realistic agony image. It was it was a I wanted to capture the feeling of this was the transition of the resurrection. Oh, not the agony image. I think uh this one the father forgive them is the one that you were okay I’m thinking father this this one so gorgeous yeah that was that took a thousand hours to paint and that took everything out of me to the point that o that was uh let’s just say my parents said that I I did not come out of my studio for a long time I was very heavily invested into painting that painting And cuz I wanted it when I saw that vision, I wanted it to be as close as accurate as I saw it. With the all the years and years and techniques and paints that I’ve accumulated, I felt that this was also the time to to paint it. But all right, so here is the image of Jesus beginning his resurrection. Yes, I was I wanted to capture that that moment where it was that transition of being that in that human form. And that’s like I I needed to paint that painting at at all costs and with that strong vision that I had. I’m like I have the tools. I have the techniques. And after 1,000 hours and quite literally my blood, sweat and tears went into that painting and I finally was able to finish it. **Holy Face of Manoppello** What deeply moves me about this painting, Akiane, is that it makes me want to weep is that I got really obsessed as a strong word, but I got really fascinated by the holy face of Monopella. I don’t know if you’ve heard of this, but Paul Bade, this j journalist, did this whole report and I went to Italy and I got to pilgrimage this tiny little town outside of Rome, maybe 200 miles outside of Rome, I don’t remember exactly where the face of Montipello, it’s basically the imprint of the outermost layer of the excuse me, the innermost layer of the shroud. So the shroud of turn there’s seven level layers of burial cloth which would traditional in Jewish custom that they buried Jesus in. And this was the layer closest to his face. So you can see this beautiful very, very thin fabric and you see the imprint of his face, but the imprint on it is his face at the moment of resurrection. They say this kind of transitional moment which I’m sounds like you have yeah not a lot of people know about this. So but I always thought oh it it looks so unusual almost this Jesus. It does kind of match the dimensions of Sh of Turin. And by the way, the material is it it’s miraculous. The imprint of the of the um of the ink or you could say on the fabric. It’s not they they’ve done scientific and it said something about the light being like uh it was there was it was not able to be produced anything but this strong ray of light from the fabric order. Yes. So it’s a miraculous image the the holy face of Montipello and but his face looks like this face and so it’s just a very uh it like fits proportionally because there was something very unique about that face of the holy face of Monopella. It’s just a very mystical thing of course that God is allowing here and inspiring here and I think it is all to again like you said bring us back to the face of the Prince of Peace and to receive his love and be able to ultimately share it. So I want to ask you, you got the face though of the Prince of Peace. **Getting the painting back** You got it back the painting eventually. That’s a short story. The longer story is that after decades of not being able to to um find the location of the Prince of Peace, finally through a lot of chain domino effect, we were able to find the location after a few decades. And but under one condition, the owners at the time would not let it part because they knew who I was and what value it was. They would not let it part with an extremely extreme amount of money. And so they they wouldn’t let you have it unless you they could sell it back to you. They wanted over I think it was over a million dollars to have it back. And at the time, you know, we after a lot of prayer, we figured out that the time it’s getting close to have having it in our care, but it just coincided during the this particular time frame. We got a call from another family who was interested in purchasing the Prince of Peace and we said, “We know somebody that is able to um who wants to sell the the Prince of Peace but at this very high price.” And we were like, you know, whatever it’s literally in God’s hands. whatever decision is made it I we all feel felt it was right and through lots of prayers the new family says absolutely and after some negotiations we um we all flew to we all flew to the storage that it was located it was in storage it was in a it was in a vault for all those years and it was never didn’t want to sell it except for a million dollars but they were keeping it in storage. Yeah, they that’s to my best of my knowledge that it was not showcased to anyone and it was in wrapped up for like 15 plus years. Yes. And not only that, it was in under the staircases. It was in um it was definitely did not see light for many many years. So wild. It was one of the most interesting days where after we landed and we were driving to this to the storage and this is the be the first time I met in person this new family that wants to acquire the Prince piece and they were going to pay almost a million dollars for it. Yes. And they were and the old owners, they they we were all going to meet in a specific location and uh they walked with me and I saw this painting that was on this um wall covered with plastic and I turned around and and I’m like, “Oh my gosh, there’s a lot of emotions coming through me.” And I’m like, “Okay, my hands are sweating. This is the first time I’ve seen it since I was 9 years old.” And I think I was so I think I was 25 2 somewhere around the 24 25. And I’m my hands are sweating and I’m I’m almost about to tear up and I’m taking the plastic off the princy piece and I gently take it off and the influx of memories just start like piling up in my head and I’m automatically transported back when I’m 8 years old. Like I remember like all those paint brushes, all those strokes and the paint being dried in a certain way and because I wanted I was there. I wanted to be there to prove the authenticity of the painting and only I can do it. Only I can prove the authenticity and Oh, that’s so that’s why you’re there. That’s why I’m there. Determine it’s real. Exactly. And I remember there was this particular area where my agent scratched the painting. And I see this um he actually scratched it. Yeah. Intentionally. That’s what my mom said. This is this is a lot of onion onion layers to the story. And and I remember just looking at it, all this little there was a couple um pieces of um sawdust that still got trapped into the painting that I didn’t get I didn’t get out yet, but everything everything just came back and I remember even though that I haven’t seen it since I was nine, it was still the same. It was still the same painting. The feeling is the same, the message was the same. And I was just uh I definitely wept a lot that day cuz I was so happy to see it again. And uh after the transaction happened, the new owners quite literally were they have the heart of gold and their mission was whatever my mission was. And I’m like I I all they wanted was for this painting to be displayed and just for anyone to see it. That’s all I want. That’s all I want. and they’re like, “We’re going to make it happen.” And with a lot of planning uh transpired after that and they all we all came together and brought some ideas and they opened a gallery specifically centered around this painting in Texas called the Beloved Gallery. And that’s where it still stands there today. And thousands and thousands and thousands of people from all over the world flew all in this little town in Marble Falls, Texas to see the painting. How beautiful. And this painting, where is this guy? This guy is incredible. Jesus. He’s still in my private care, my private collection. And my mission in the near future is to want to exhibit some of my really really close, you know, very emotional pieces and I think this was one of them and I I’m hoping to display it soon. They’re both unbelievably stunning. This one though, I can tell and I can’t even imagine how beautiful this one is in real life. Like it is I mean if somehow obviously you’re painting this in your 20s, right? Just recently you painted this one. Yeah. And then this was 8 years old. So it’s a even finer piece if that’s possible here. But it I would I hope one day to be able to travel to get to see that one in person. I hope one day I can show it to you and I’ll I’ll tell you all the story behind it. And you know there was a moment when I finally was able to finish that painting. And every painting I do, I always call my family into the studio and I always do like this this reveal and um I put it on the easel. My whole family’s there. I unveiled it and I remember my brother Jeanlu. He looks at it. He closes his eye and he’s almost like, “Oh, wow. That’s it.” there was this um he says that he has to almost take his time to open his eyes again because it was really um a lot for him. And I think seeing that and feeling that made me confirm, oh my I I did what I I could do all for this painting and now I’m ready to share it with everyone else. **Timeline of Akiane’s work** Wow. I’m going to take a quick minute and I highly recommend folks listening, they’ll have the opportunity to click the link in the description to see your art, but I want to go through just the trajectory here. You have very beautifully put it in your gallery online and you can see by age which is such a special thing and again your mother her intentionality to just really shepherd your gift. It’s an inspiration to me as a mother and I think any parent listening I think is inspired by that intentionality. But here’s your sketching sketching at age four which is far better than sketching that I can do at age 37. So this is just tremendous. And then you see age five and just the advancement in your ability to sketch is incredible. And you can see like you said you first started doing color limited colors like you were describing this gorgeous jaguar. right here. And then here we are at age seven. Mhm. That’s when I go went into acrylics. Wow. And there’s more colors now. Are you still Yes, it’s getting a little bit more. It’s getting a little bit more. And I’m starting to get the um the just of it, the just of the colors. And And then I started diving into oils around this uh age. And I think the planted eyes, the one on age eight of the African-American lady, she was my first oils ever. Wow. And uh I remember painting that and it felt so the oils felt so easy at the time and I felt oh wow this is going to this is the medium I should use to paint for Prince of Peace. And then there we have Prince of Peace. And then you just see just all of this incredible explosion of creativity. This is Yeah. Father forgive them. This is the one I was referencing earlier. This was also age nine. This is a young painting and this is our lord. Yes, this is also um displayed at the beloved gallery and they were they wanted to acquire this in in conjunction with the prince at peace. And this was painted I finished it on my 9th birthday. And here is right here. Akiane in your little studio. How beautiful. Age nine. My dad built um the easel for me. He went it was so big. Uh most of all like my paintings at the time I was quite small at the time. So they literally were either eye level or just almost my height. Like I wanted to paint on these large canvases. Like the larger the better. And I I I just had to I just had to. And it was as time progressed, as I was traveling all all these countries. I think I’ve been to 35 or 36 countries. And I think my paintings definitely got smaller because of the travel and I wanted to um it was more practical for an artist, but the messages and the details they’re they’re just more um enhanced. They’re more accentuated as time goes on. But yeah, the father forgive them was the one that uh I wanted to have this particular red color in his veins that I couldn’t find anywhere. So I it was so happened one of the days I was, you know, cooking or something and I cut my finger and I remember like seeing that color of blood on my finger and I’m like this is this is the color I’m looking for. and I I put it on on the painting. So there is like, as you can tell, like as a eight-year-old, nineyear-old, I’m just I’m giving pretty much my blood, sweat, and tears into this painting. Amazing, and your parents had the wherewithal to take images, take even video of you painting at that young age because later on you would be accused of it being fake. That this was actually painted by an older artist and they’re pretending to be younger or have some like deal with you to make money. And your parents knew that this attack was coming and so they actually created an archive to prove that these were your paintings. Yes. The foresight that they have was on another level and I think because of that they and I we were were conversing like the only way that we were able to um solidify this authenticity was to film. So during the process of painting the Prince of Peace or painting some of my other paintings, like there was a camera in the room and I would um film me as much as they can. And and uh and a lot of these films are online. Anyone can see from me painting the Prince of Peace or and ever since then like um there was a time I think I was 13 years old. I painted this painting called Wonder and it’s about this baby looking at the butterflies and I was 13. I have very I had very very long hair. I remember that. And this was at the time when it’s still I was getting still some questions still some um hair’s wonder. Yes, that’s it. I was getting a lot of a lot of still questions and it’s it was really interesting because we still had a lot of this footage, but I wanted something from beginning to end with no stop, no cuts, no nothing. And this painting was shot from beginning to end. And we brought it to this converter film converter studio. And this lady was one of the people that was skeptical and she didn’t truly 100% believe that I I did what I did until she converted all my footages. And she um put it everything from beginning to end. And and she felt that that whole process of watching me paint like it was a it was an an experience that she didn’t expected. and she says, “Everyone needs to see this. Everyone needs to see this.” So, that planted a seed in my mind. I’m like, “Actually, you know what? Let’s do it. Let’s um let’s do more of this.” So that’s where a lot of my films throughout the years I do my best from beginning to end and uh showcase the process of my creative process of how I get my inspiration, what inspired me, what happened during the beh I’m brushing five paintings over each other just to get the right painting on um at the end. So yeah, I I just thought that this was going to be a great tool to show what goes on in my studio. **Akiane’s advice for others** They’re very inspiring, be beautiful videos. You have short versions on your Instagram, your website that people can see and they’re just so inspiring. Akiane, what advice do you give to people? What would you want them to know about how to hear or receive God’s own calling in their life to be open to something beautiful he may have for them to experience or to do? I could only share what worked for me and that was through painting, poetry, drawing. Those creative outlets is its in my mind is it’s its purest form, purest portal to communicate with God. In my humble opinion, I feel like experimenting with things that your soul feels at ease and peaceful but also challenging, whether it’s singing, whether it’s cooking for your loved ones or taking on daily walks or prayer being, you know, praying in the mountains. I I really feel that every one of us are unique in our in our own right. There’s not one answer to everyone that we can all share. Everyone is different. But I do see a lot of these similarities amongst a lot of people is through a creative outlet because we are gifted with certain things and I believe those are from God. And I think it makes life so meaningful when you utilize those keys. And I really believe that they can open a lot of doors, a lot of um raw communication that you never knew existed. And I really think that everyone should try to experiment to to do those things to create. I think that’s what makes human being closer to God very very meaningful. You just got married. Congratulations. Thank you so much. So happy for you. Your wonderful husband’s here in the studio. Beautiful couple. What are you most excited for in the future? You’ve got a lot of projects you’re working on. I’m excited for the future in general. I’m excited to travel with my husband and create a family with him. Also, just sharing my life with him and and I just what makes me so happy is when all of our families come together and we’re just laughing and just enjoying each other’s presence. It just feels like no matter what life throws at us, we’re going to over always overcome it. And I’m just really really happy that you know all these when all these new projects when they come my way I’m doing it together with this special person and it just so happened that uh we are together working on a a feature film and is a it’s a project that’s going to be like no other and I’m partnering up with the beloved gallery and they are the ones the beloved studios are the ones that are going to be documenting everything. And we’ve traveled to Texas and Korea and soon we’re going to I think it was Brazil this year to do a very um very amazing exhibition. So, lots of exhibitions, lots of um lots of new exciting projects, a lot of film projects. My third book recently got published. So, congratulations. Thank you so much. That’s amazing. Thank you so much. What’s the name of your third book? It’s called Akiane, the journey of an artist and it is a visual diary of all of my works that I have done throughout my whole years. And a lot of the things that is not on the website is is in the book. And I want I went through all the archives. I went through all these the stoages and just to uncover a lot of these missing um unreleased paintings and sketches. So, it was such a fun time putting this book together and I wanted it to be done for such a long time, but I, you know, I felt that now was the time to finally publish it because as an artist, you always have to make this call of like every book has a last page. What page would you want it to be last? So, I was always like on a hunt to try to make that final piece, that final piece. And and I came to that conclusion like, let’s just do a part one. So, I’m doing a part one. And I will always add on to it. My life of an artist will never stop. It’s still going to be, I’m still going to be painting when I’m 100 years old. And so I’m so excited to keep painting and keep exploring and and especially sharing my life with my husband. And people can find all of that at aon.com. Yes. And it’s aana pronounced, but it’s spelled with an e at the end. Correct. Yes. Because my it is a a a name that hasn’t been used before. Of course, my mom and my dad, they especially my mom, she created this Lithuanian and Russian name together. So, that’s why it’s such a unique name and it means ocean. So, it I feel very honored and blessed and I feel like I’m live I’m I want I’m living up to my name because I love the ocean and I love um being there being near the ocean and my favorite color is blue. So, it just feels really fitting and I really love my name. It’s beautiful. And you have an image of Mary, the mother of God, the mother of Jesus. **Painting Mary** Yes. Is it on your website? Let me Where is it? Is it It’s called Is this her right here? Mother’s mother’s love. Not on my knees. Okay. I think it is age mother’s love 10 or 11. Okay. That is actually I really wanted to showcase this in my exhibition. Um this is my top five. one of my most emotional pieces and very dear to my heart. I painted that with that color blue that I mentioned because that that blue is very uh important that shade because it represents the thoughts the um the dreams the it is literally called it is literally the color of the mind that’s how I perceive what that blue is and that mother’s love you can see the she’s hold mother Mary is holding Jesus and her shawl and her whole robe is connected to him. So, it’s all together and looped into one unit. And I felt that that was my indirect representation of a mother’s love that will always be connected to her child and this puress, this innocence, this this pure love. And I think that I wanted to encapsulate that through this painting. What’s very beautiful what we what you said too in all the Marian apparitions and in the you know in the church and everything else blue is often her color that she chooses and it’s the color used in her mantle and it’s a it’s a common color that Mary seems to show up mystically in. You know what’s interesting? I didn’t know this when I painted it. It was only like years and years later when I saw some of these images about this particular color being associated with Mother Mary and it just reaffirms that that that dream that I had was was very important and I’m so glad that I was able to paint it. Beautiful. Thank you so much, Akiane. This has been such a treat and I’m so grateful for your willingness to share all of this beautiful inspiration with me and with everyone listening and with the world. Thank you so much. It’s been such an honor. I had such a fun time talking with you today and I’m so thankful you’re able to um allow me to share my story and the message is thank you. Thank you Akiane. **Categories:** Video Newsletter, Gallery Newsletter --- ### [#iam_beloved: Meet Jerri McBay](https://belovedgallery.org/iam_beloved-meet-jerri-mcbay/) **Published:** May 23, 2026 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Since the grand opening of Akiane: The Early Years in Marble Falls, Belóved Gallery has become a vibrant hub for art, faith, and community.

Reading the miraculous story of a young girl who painted the face of Jesus, Kevin was immediately hooked. He had spent much of his youth curious about God’s supernatural mysteries but felt he lacked access to or knowledge about them. **Content:** #### \#iam\_beloved Sharing Stories of Faith ![Kevin McCrary iam_beloved2](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Kevin-McCrary-iam_beloved2-1024x576.png) ### The Formative Power of Art: Meet Kevin McCrary Nearly a decade ago, Kevin found a book in his friend’s apartment called Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry. Reading the miraculous story of a young girl who painted the face of Jesus, Kevin was immediately hooked. He had spent much of his youth curious about God’s supernatural mysteries but felt he lacked access to or knowledge about them. For Kevin, Akiane’s story was proof – evidence of the gospel and the existence of Jesus Christ – and he purchased several copies of her book to give to people as gifts, even leaving one in a coffee shop during a trip to Scotland. Years later, working as an English teacher, Kevin shared Akiane’s artwork in his classroom. He talked about Akiane’s story with his students, expressing the mystery of God’s miracles displayed in someone around the same age as them. His students responded in awe. When Kevin heard that some of Akiane’s paintings had been made available for the public to see, he was floored. “I never thought I’d see her work in person,” he shared as he walked through the front doors of Belóved Gallery. Kevin began taking in each masterpiece, slowly walking around the exhibition until he reached the Prince of Peace room. “From a distance, it reflects the majesty of Jesus,” Kevin shared, describing how he had seen the image in books and online. “But when you get close, you can see the suffering. The paint she used – the texture and color has a broken look. It makes me think about the suffering of the cross. The Bible says Jesus was a man of many sorrows and One acquainted with grief. Akiane truly captured the pain that Jesus endured during his life.” ![Kevin McCrary iam_beloved bw](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Kevin-McCrary-iam_beloved1-1024x706.png) Standing in Belóved Gallery so many years after stumbling across Akiane’s book was an inspiring moment for Kevin. He went from reading and sharing the miraculous story to stepping inside and experiencing a new level of what Akiane’s art offers. Kevin left with a growing hunger for more of God’s mysteries and revelations, thankful that He is faithful in revealing Himself to those who seek Him. “It’s important to expose ourselves to supernatural things related to Christ and consider what that means. Why did God choose Akiane? Why was this painting made? We can get caught up in the story of a miracle, but sometimes, we forget what it means to experience a miracle.

As soon as the lungs of time breathe camouflage that irritates truth the centuries like dry branches fall one after another breaking the masks, sphinxes and artificial hearts of the empires. The eternal road is the narrow road where you wait for others to pass you. The volcano crumbles the hideout of the last stage and as the past applauds the future the first century waves roll over and over. Is the dormant light still white when the heaven gives birth to another earth and the dew of the pangs drips all over you? The eternal road is the narrow road where you wait for others to pass you. Why does a trillion-word dream exist if it cannot be opened? Calling for asking knots in the warm-blooded ropes I lose my seamless robe and the claws of rolling nightmares slowly fade through the ripened dream in me. The eternal road is the narrow road where you wait for others to pass you. On he worn but still young crossroad of the wishes I leave love. The resurrection of consciousness is faith. Through the same faith you still find yourself in a far future. – Akiane, Age 10 ##### Akiane: The Early Years ### Our Collection *Akiane: The Early Years* is the world’s only public exhibition of Akiane’s childhood paintings, spotlighting fourteen original works created from her heavenly visions. At its heart is the original *Prince of Peace*—painted at age eight, hidden for nearly two decades, and now restored as one of the most recognized faces of Jesus worldwide. Guests encounter masterpieces such as *Dreams*, *Jesus: The Missing Years*, and *Turquoise Eyes*, accompanied by Akiane’s childhood poetry and reflections, along with a short film and timeline that share her extraordinary journey from prodigy to master fine artist.

A face that could spread love, peace and unity. ## - Akiane, Age 8 ## IT'S NOT TOO LATE Perhaps I wanted to catch it. Perhaps not. But one morning I wanted to paint the wings– Too late–they fley away. I wanted to paint a flower– Too late–it withered. That night the rain was running after me. Each drop of rain showed one and the same face, and it was everywhere. I wrung out the love to mark the red. I wrung out the stumps to make the brown. I wrung out the trust to make the yellow. I wrung out my own eyes to make the blue. I wrung out the leaves to make the green. I wrung out the nightly pain to make the black, I wrung out my grandmother’s hair to make the gray. I wrung out my visions to make the violet. I wrung out the truth to make the white. Today I want to paint God’s face– It’s not too late.

Do you exist in the inanimate world, if every raindrop shows no color, not even white or clear? You are the breathing survivor of spiritual perfection in the sevenfold universe, where the center of the wonder orb is shaken, and I frame myself live, sculpting out of myself the spiritual fabric to dress up all of you. At first the universe progress feels like a statue of melancholic fog, and only your breath can know, how sore my throat is, as it spits out a heart bubble, where my clear eyes and woolen hair is seen. Retiming your resurrected gaze, I pass the future earth to you, so you could write my name on it and pass it on to everyone around this slippery world.

The word commissioned means to appoint, produce, and bring into working condition. An artist can be commissioned to create a meaningful work of art. God also commissioned us into His family as sons and daughters, individual masterpieces designed by the Master Artist Himself. Building on this foundation, Jesus’s final words on earth called for the great commission, an invitation to share with the entire world the profound work of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, His unbreakable love for every one of us, and His promise of eternal life. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/red-gradient-1024x6.jpg) ### ATTEND THE FUNDRAISER #### Belóved Gala Saturday, October 26, 2024 [Horseshoe Bay Resort](https://reservations.travelclick.com/103027?groupID=3939890) *Ticketed Event.* ‍Attend the second annual Belóved Gala with special guest, Master Fine Artist Akiane Kramarik.

Dear Friend, We could not have anticipated what would follow when our friend Bishop Goodwill Shana, Secretary General of the World Evangelical Alliance, invited our team to share Akiane’s story with global leaders and ministry representatives at the 2025 WEA General Assembly in Seoul. Another guest, Beami Strong, grew up carrying the weight of trauma and a question he couldn’t shake loose: Is God even real? Jesus felt distant and too otherworldly to understand the specific shape of a person’s suffering. But as Beami walked through Belóved Gallery, what he saw in Akiane’s art stopped him. Not a symbol, not an icon, but a face. “I suddenly felt like I could relate to things Jesus experienced while on earth,” Beami shared. “That changed everything.” The distance had closed—not because God had moved, but because Beami had been given a way to connect that touched his heart. What began as a single opportunity soon opened the door to a relationship with SaRang Church—a relationship that grew into a friendship and eventually into the vision for hosting *Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art.* Thousands came through the exhibition—believers, artists, families, and visitors from around the world. Some came out of deep faith, others out of curiosity. Yet many left with a renewed sense of wonder, reflection, and peace. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Akiane-Kramarik-Beloved-Gallery-Seoul-South-Korea3.jpg) Moments like these remind us of why Belóved Gallery exists, and why this mission continues to matter so deeply. ##### Who We Are Step into a space where Christ’s presence is seen and encountered.

What would it look like to carry Emmanuel, which in Hebrew means God with us throughout the year? **Content:** ![Reflections of Love Inspiring Faith through Art](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Newsletter-Header_R1_v1-Brandmark-1024x237.jpg) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/428259-R1-14A-e1746820161968.jpg) From a very young age, Akiane Kramarik was commissioned by God to be an artist, a calling she says came to her through vivid visions and Divine encounters. By the age of ten, she was creating astonishingly lifelike and spiritual paintings, many of which depicted heavenly scenes and portraits of Christ with a depth of emotion and detail far beyond her years. To say Akiane was commissioned by God as a child is only part of her story. Today, her work continues to bear the unmistakable mark of Divine inspiration. Her brush strokes capture not just physical form, but the unseen soul of her subjects. Her art is magnetic, inviting viewers into a sacred moment of awe and reflection. Each painting seems to echo the original calling God put on her heart, affirming that her talent is not only a gift but a mission she continues to fulfill through her life. Much like Akiane, we each have a unique process, intricately woven into the fabric of our being by God, who sees beyond the present moment into the fullness of our lives. When God commissions us, it is not for a fleeting task or a temporary role—it is a lifelong calling rooted in His eternal plan. His purpose for us is not confined to a single event or season but unfolds through every stage of our journey, shaping our identity, relationships, and how we love and serve others. Even when we feel insignificant or uncertain, God’s calling remains steadfast, reminding us that our lives are meant to reflect his glory and fulfill His will in meaningful and eternal ways. ![#iam_beloved with Belóved Gallery](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/iam_beloved-1024x123.png) Watch to the story of Beami Strong, an Uber driver who brought a group to Belóved Gallery and witnessed their deep passion for Jesus and their moving reaction to Akiane’s art. Stirred by their response, Beami returned to the gallery to experience it himself. Inspired by Akiane’s work, Beami tenderly gave his heart to Jesus and grew in confidence and vision. He took a risk to change careers following where he felt God was leading. Today, Beami works as an actor and musician, having already earned roles in popular TV shows such as The Chosen. Just as God commissioned Akiane to create art that stirs souls and points hearts to Heaven, Beami’s experience at Belóved Gallery awakened something deep within him, a divine nudge toward his calling. His story is a reminder that God’s commissions often come quietly, through unexpected moments that change the course of our lives. Whether through a brush stroke, conversation, or chance encounter, God invites each of us to step into the purpose He’s prepared. Beami’s journey is not just about a career change, it’s about responding to the whisper of God’s voice, saying go, create, speak, serve. We are all commissioned, called not just to admire the light, but to carry it. Visit [*Akiane: The Early Years*](https://belovedgallery.org/visit/) to learn more about Akiane’s miraculous story and admire her stunning masterpieces created between the ages of eight and sixteen. Her childhood dreams and visions inspired the paintings in the collection.

Through her devotionals and prayer journals, Toni shares heartfelt, Spirit-led encouragement **Now Available at Belóved Café:** *Fast & Fight Devotional & Journal A Seat at the Table Testify Fit on Fire* ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Toni-Blackington-Head-Shot-1024x1024.png) [ Connect with Toni ](https://www.instagram.com/toni_blackington/) Toni Blackington lives in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in Marble Falls, where she enjoys small-town life alongside her husband of 28 years. Together, they’ve raised three children, and she considers it her greatest honor to have been entrusted by the Lord to raise and walk alongside these remarkable end-time warriors. With a background in education and experience writing for family and Christian journals, city newspapers, and children’s literature, Toni now pours her heart into writing devotionals and prayer journals. Her words reflect a life deeply touched by God’s mercy—a mercy that never stopped pursuing her, that forgave, redeemed, delivered her from darkness, and filled her with the Holy Spirit. Toni is forever thankful to Jesus, the Living Water that wells up inside and overflows onto pages with words. It’s her joy to encourage others to sit in the presence of God, approach His throne with confidence by the atoning blood of Jesus, and move from glory to glory by the power of the Holy Spirit. Her heart burns to encourage the body of Christ to prepare for His return…because, yes, He is coming back for His bride! #### UPCOMING EVENTS Our 3rd Annual Fall Affair, *Commissioned: Sharing Faith through Art*, will be held October 24-25, 2025.

Through my observation and study, I found out that a ballerina’s performing life is very short, just like a butterfly’s. Her body and emotions must be healthy, so she would be able to train long hours and accept any ballet role offered to her. Her life is a life of creativity, patience and sacrifice. A young dancer has to dance for many years before her ankles get strong enough for sur-les pointes – the point work. That usually happens at around age twelve. When finally I started painting, I tried to highlight the importance of tying the two ribbons – the ribbons of passion and dedication. Without these ribbons the point shoes cannot be safely secured on the feet. This is also a portrait of adolescence which cannot be a balanced transition between childhood and adulthood without a healthy focus and passion. I did not paint a graceful dancer who wants to be the best ballerina. I painted a devoted ballerina who wants to dance her best.

After a long drive with her family, they arrived at Belóved Gallery, where the beauty of the space and the artwork captivated them. For Corina, the experience was transformative, reminding her of her worth and the eternal nature of the soul. As her children shared their thoughts on the painting, the family found comfort and inspiration amidst their recent losses. Join us in exploring how art can inspire faith and foster a sense of belovedness in our lives. **Content:** #### \#iam\_beloved Sharing Stories of Faith ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Iam_beloved-the-SIMS3-1024x576.png) ### I Have To See The Painting: Meet The Sims “I have to see this painting!” Corina Sims was browsing her social media feed when she came across Belóved Gallery’s account and started reading guests’ experiences with the famous Prince of Peace painting. As a busy mother of four, scheduling a time to visit was harder than she thought. “But everyday that passed, I thought about it more and more. It’s like the painting was calling me.” Finally, Corina and her husband, Ben, loaded up the family car with Claire, age 12, Julia, age 10, Chloe, age 7, and Judah, age 3, and drove a little over an hour to visit the gallery. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Iam_beloved-the-SIMS1-1024x576.png) “The blue marble, the wooden door, the lighting, the poetry, the curtain on the Prince of Peace Sanctuary… Everything was so beautiful from the moment we walked in. It helped me know I was about to experience something really wonderful,” Corina shared. Corina had shown her family a YouTube video about Akiane’s story before they even arrived. The anticipation was about far more than seeing Akiane’s paintings, however. The family lost Ben’s father, Bob, and his brother, Ryan, within nine months of each other. They were close-knit, with Ryan, his wife, Lisa, and their three children living just down the street from Ben and Corina. Bob was a quick drive across town. “It helps to know we are eternal, and our souls are more important than anything else,” Ben reflected. “In Akiane’s paintings, there are a lot of spiritual elements that encouraged us. With the Prince of Peace, I kept looking at the contrast between the light part of Jesus’s face and the dark part…really honing in on each side. I was almost more drawn to the dark side of his face. And I felt peace. I thought, ‘everything’s ok, everything is going to be fine.’” ![Iam_beloved-Ben Sims](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Iam_beloved-the-SIMS6.png) ![Iam_beloved-the SIMS family](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Iam_beloved-the-SIMS4.png) All of the children were intrigued. They stood for a long while, taking the work in. Later, they shared with their parents their thoughts on the experience. “How could a young girl paint something this good?’ I think she is a very talented girl who has a strong relationship with God. God is the only one who could help a young girl paint something like that.” – Claire, age 12 “I kept thinking, ‘how would an 8 year old paint that big of a painting?’ When I looked at it, I knew that Jesus was with me.” – Chloe, age 7 For Corina, seeing the painting had a slightly different impact. “I found myself being fascinated with Akiane herself. It’s like the story of Peter in the New Testament, where he is walking and people think ‘if I can just get in Peter’s shadow, I’ll be healed.’ For me, I thought ‘if I could just get near Akiane, maybe I could be like her.’ But the truth is, we worship the Creator, not the creation. And God created everyone to be special. Sometimes I want to ask ‘do I matter?’ Looking into the eyes of the Prince of Peace painting was like God saying, ‘This is evidence that you matter, Corina.’ So instead of asking that question, it’s changing my mindset to look at the evidence that I do matter. There is no better thought than thinking of how God thought of me when He created me.” ![Iam_beloved-Corina Sims](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Iam_beloved-the-SIMS5.png) Later that night, after the kids were tucked in bed, Ben and Corina were still reminiscing about their trip to Belóved Gallery. Ben shared, “I kept picturing what we had seen that morning and kept focusing on it until I fell asleep. It brought me so much comfort. It’s like what Psalm 139 says – even in that really hard painful place, you know God’s there. It doesn’t remove the pain, but there’s comfort. There’s a joy at His presence. Pain and loss are part of our life, and we are all going to experience it, but we don’t have to be afraid of it. That’s God’s promise.” ![Iam_beloved-the SIMS bw](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Iam_beloved-the-SIMS2-1.png) **Support Our Mission** Your generosity powers Belóved Gallery’s mission to inspire faith through art.

Sam is an artist and influencer whose colorful portrayals of Jesus have inspired a generation. His expressive use of acrylics and mixed media brings powerful stories to life, evoking both spiritual depth and emotional connection. Known for large-scale, dynamic works that pulse with bold colors and raw beauty, Sam’s art has resonated with millions across the globe. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/20250811_161903.jpg) ##### Meet Sam Ryan Sam Ryan is a fine artist and author whose work blends classical technique with raw, cinematic intensity, often walking the line between realism and the surreal. Self-taught, Sam’s earliest sketches were completed in school notebooks, eventually evolving into large-scale acrylic paintings that now reside in private collections and sacred spaces across the country. Known for his time-sensitive print drops and dramatic compositions, Sam’s work explores themes of sacrifice, power, and the unseen forces that shape us. His paintings have amassed over a million followers, catching the attention of public figures such as Morgan Freeman and President Donald Trump, who owns an original Sam Ryan displayed in Mar-a-Lago.

This masterwork, featuring 24k gold leaf and layered acrylics, honors the protectors—the ones who hold the line in silence and strength. Saint Michael stands in the shadows, sword drawn, wings darkened by battle. His blade is gilded with 24k gold to reflect what is worth defending. At his side is a lamb needing to be found, untouched, unharmed, still standing. This special performance—Sam’s signature, expressive painting in real time—will culminate in the unveiling of the fully embellished print of *Custos Invicta* on the *Symphony of Art!* stage. The embellished print will be auctioned at the Belóved Gala, the evening of October 25th, with all proceeds supporting Belóved Gallery’s mission. Also featured during the Fall Affair weekend will be a Sam Ryan original painting, never before seen in public! Sam’s new masterpiece will be on view in Belóved Gallery’s foyer as part of the guided tour.

As soon as the lungs of time breathe camouflage that irritates truth the centuries like dry branches fall one after another breaking the masks, sphinxes and artificial hearts of the empires. The eternal road is the narrow road where you wait for others to pass you. The volcano crumbles the hideout of the last stage and as the past applauds the future the first century waves roll over and over. Is the dormant light still white when the heaven gives birth to another earth and the dew of the pangs drips all over you? The eternal road is the narrow road where you wait for others to pass you. Why does a trillion-word dream exist if it cannot be opened? Calling for asking knots in the warm-blooded ropes I lose my seamless robe and the claws of rolling nightmares slowly fade through the ripened dream in me. The eternal road is the narrow road where you wait for others to pass you. On he worn but still young crossroad of the wishes I leave love. The resurrection of consciousness is faith. Through the same faith you still find yourself in a far future. – Akiane, Age 10 ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Akiane-Feature-Film_Title-Treatment_Akaine-Love-Tag_KO-WHITE-1024x470.png) **Categories:** International Collection --- ### [Gala 2026](https://belovedgallery.org/beloved-gala-2026/) **Published:** November 1, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Join us for one of the most inspiring evenings of the year—a spirit-filled celebration of faith through art with world-renowned Master Fine Artist Akiane Kramarik in person!

At Belóved Gallery, this profound certainty resonates through art, poetry, and the heartfelt stories of our guests. Anne Evans, overwhelmed by grief, found solace in Akiane's portrait of Jesus, feeling the compassion and hope that transcends pain. Beami Strong, questioning God's reality, discovered a connection through the art that changed everything. Join us this Resurrection Sunday to encounter “the face of love” and experience renewed hope, healing, and a deeper connection to God. We await your arrival! **Content:** ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Newsletter-Header_R1_v1-1024x237.jpg) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/beloved-gallery-feb-2026-email-1-1024x576.jpg) ### Our Redeemer Lives ##### Hope is Found in Christ’s Resurrection Dear Friend, Long before the hope of resurrection was fully known, Job proclaimed it into the dark. Stripped of everything, faced with the crushing sorrow of loss, he dared to say: I know that my Redeemer lives. This same unexpected certainty quietly fills the rooms of Belóved Gallery—not through argument or explanation, but through paintings, poetry, and the stories of guests who walk the exhibition floor. Anne Evans toured Belóved Gallery on the one-year anniversary of her son Stewart’s fatal accident. Carrying overwhelming grief, she had no words, and then, standing in front of Akiane’s portrait of Jesus, Prince of Peace, words suddenly came to her: Anne, I believe in you. The face in the painting did not erase her grief. It held it. “When I looked into the left eye, I felt all the compassion and the mercy that God feels for people, how much He loves mankind, and that He’s sorry for our pain. In the right eye, there is much hope and promise. When you have a great loss, you want hope restored.” ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/beloved-gallery-march-2026-email-2.jpg) Another guest, Beami Strong, grew up carrying the weight of trauma and a question he couldn’t shake loose: Is God even real? Jesus felt distant and too otherworldly to understand the specific shape of a person’s suffering. But as Beami walked through Belóved Gallery, what he saw in Akiane’s art stopped him. Not a symbol, not an icon, but a face. “I suddenly felt like I could relate to things Jesus experienced while on earth,” Beami shared. “That changed everything.” The distance had closed—not because God had moved, but because Beami had been given a way to connect that touched his heart. ***This I Know. That I Shall See God.*** **Job 19:25-27** This is what art, at its most honest, does. Art makes the invisible visible. It restores hope. It connects us to God. It allows us to see. Akiane was a child when she first painted Prince of Peace. She saw “the face of love” and painted it with a certainty that has never faded. Job’s words echo the same conviction—that even in the lowest register of human suffering, even after death, there is a seeing yet to come. A face to behold. A Redeemer standing at last on the earth. On Resurrection Sunday, we remember that God came in human form, so we could stand face to face with Him. He died for us so we can know we aren’t alone in our suffering. And He rose again, so we can have eternal life. We have hope because we know our Redeemer lives. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/beloved-gallery-march-2026-email-3-1024x576.jpg) ##### Celebrate the Risen King Step into a space where Christ’s presence is seen and encountered.

Over 1,000 people traveled to Marble Falls from their homes in Brazil, Mexico, Canada, New York, California, and Florida, to name a few. **Content:** ![Fall Affair 2023](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/newsletter-header-080423-1024x408.jpg) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/newsletter-beloved-gala-1024x190.jpg) Dear Friend, Belóved Gallery’s first ever Fall Affair concluded this past Sunday after three days of magnificent artistic exhibits, soul-stirring music, and community building with the best guests from around the world. Over 1,000 people traveled to Marble Falls from their homes in Brazil, Mexico, Canada, New York, California, and Florida, to name a few. One gentleman in his 60’s, Hans, came all the way from Greenland with a hand-painted teapot in tow as a gift for [Akiane](https://akiane.com/). Belóved guests participated in tours of Akiane: The Early Years, the Symphony of Art!, and the inaugural Belóved Gala. They cried, they laughed, and they made new friends. Most of all, they celebrated the power of art to embolden and inspire faith and draw us deeper into God’s love. “I feel like I belong here,” one guest, Jennifer, shared with us. “The professionalism, the people, the level of art has just blown me away, and at the same time, the kindness of the community has touched my heart.” Many first time visitors stood face to face with the original Prince of Peace painting and experienced the awe and emotion that often follows. For others, it was like a family reunion where distant relatives find commonality, even when meeting for the first time. João Paulo Gonçalves’s shadow art exhibit not only revealed the face of Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus in The Chosen, but also another piece in his display gradually revealed the same face as guests took turns participating in a word search. Gene Glaeser’s presentation on understanding God through art featured an original 1500’s sketch of Albrecht Dürer’s The Last Supper. Laughter filled the interview with [Akiane](https://akiane.com/), led by W. David O. Taylor, and new fun tidbits about the fine art master emerged. Did you know “the food she can’t live without” is eggs? ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/newsletter-divider-091523.png) Hans Heilmann ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/akiane-gifted-823x1024.jpeg) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/newsletter-divider-091523.png) To learn more about [Akiane](https://akiane.com/'), visit her Official Gallery at www.akiane.com. In typical fashion, Team Belóved was blown away by the personal stories of guests. Staci Tolbert came to share her remarkable story on Friday with Akiane. Back in the 1970’s, when Staci was eight years old, she was pronounced dead in a hospital after a battle with leukemia. Staci found herself standing near a beautiful countryside church, with golden angels descending out of the clouds, when Jesus appeared before her. He said, “Staci, it’s not your time yet. Go live your life and know that I’m with you always.” Staci was revived in the hospital and overcame her battle with leukemia. She detailed her experience of seeing the Prince of Peace painting in-person for the first time decades later: “I walked in that room and literally fell to the floor in awe. I looked at that beautiful picture and stared into his beautiful eyes. It was just the way I saw Him back then.” Hundreds of faith stories have been shared within the gallery walls. In the months ahead, Belóved Gallery will continue to collect and share these stories of faith that explore how we are all known and loved by our Creator. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/newsletter-divider-091523.png) Staci Tolbert ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/staci-tolbert--684x1024.jpg) ![#Iam_Beloved logo representing guest stories of faith and connection through Akiane Kramarik’s art at Beloved Gallery.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/iam_beloved_clear.png) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/newsletter-divider-091523.png) Use #iam\_beloved to share how your faith has been inspired by the Prince of Peace and tell your own personal story of how you know you are beloved. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/look-at-fall-affair-1024x123.png) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/fall-affair-recap-2023-819x1024.png) Saturday evening, the Belóved Gala gathered over 300 people in celebration with Ramy Antoun and Robbie Seay leading a 10-piece orchestra. As parts of the short film, Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist, showed on the big screen, the orchestra played a live score comprised of songs from the Robbie Seay Band, Patty Griffin, and Lauren Daigle. Grace Carpenter portrayed a young Akiane in a dance that represented part of the former child prodigy’s story. Attendees worshiped God and even sang along to the moving performance. The night concluded with Akiane receiving the first ever “Faith through Art Legacy Award” from Belóved Gallery, presented by her brother and the manager of Akiane Gallery, Jeanlu Kramarik. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/look-at-beloved-1024x123.png) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/beloved-gala-2023-819x1024.png) To say that Team Belóved is still sitting in the afterglow of our 2023 Fall Affair would be an understatement.

Now, over twenty years later, her art continues to inspire people worldwide. At Belóved Gallery, we have witnessed firsthand how children connect with her work, often offering profound insights that remind us of the beauty and wisdom of a child’s perspective. Our young visitors have amazed and delighted us with their responses to *Akiane: The Early Years*, setting the tone for how her work should be experienced. Children instinctively grasp the depth of her paintings and poems, expressing their thoughts in ways that often leave us in awe. Inspired by Akiane’s dedication and talent, many young artists feel encouraged to develop their own creative abilities. Their artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the wonder and freedom of childhood—daring us to value and uplift the voices of the next generation. This is why we are honored to announce our recent partnership with Faith Academy of Marble Falls to present a remarkable student art exhibition: *Realities of Heaven*. Inspired by Colossians 3:1, these young artists have set their sights on the Kingdom, creating works that reflect the beauty and depth of Heaven’s reality. *“Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.” – Colossians 3:1, NLT* At Belóved Gallery, we believe art has the power to offer glimpses of eternity. This partnership perfectly reflects our mission—experiencing faith through art—and invites us all to consider how we are commissioned to create for His glory. We are thrilled to share this inspiring collection with you through a digital exhibition that celebrates faith, creativity, and the voices of young artists. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/image-1-1024x664.png) [ REALITIES OF HEAVEN ](https://belovedgallery.org/faith-academy/) ![Little Messengers](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/image-2.png) We’re thrilled to introduce Little Messengers, a heartwarming new video series where kids share their thoughts about Belóved Gallery in their own words.

What would it look like to carry Emmanuel, which in Hebrew means God with us throughout the year? **Content:** ![Reflections of Love Inspiring Faith through Art](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Newsletter-Header_R1_v1-Brandmark-1024x237.jpg) Dear Friend, As we enter 2025, let’s focus on the celebrated miracle of the incarnation of God coming to earth as we reengage in our day-to-day lives with family and friends. What would it look like to carry ***Emmanuel***, which in Hebrew means ***God with us*** throughout the year? Akiane’s artistic masterpieces reveal the humanity of God in His son, Jesus. Belóved Gallery guests often describe feeling His presence when they view her paintings, describing this experience as being face-to-face with God. In Akiane’s book, *Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry*, she reveals similar encounters with Jesus in her everyday moments. ***God was with her*** and is now showing Himself to us through her works. At age 10, Akiane painted [*Jesus: The Missing Years*](https://akiane.com/product/jesus-the-missing-years/), which depicts a teenage Jesus rarely portrayed in art. For Akiane, this face represents a deeper aspect of God and His connection to humanity: “He is timeless—and because of that, you can catch a glimpse of Him as a teenager and an adult all at once.” ![Visitor admiring Akiane Kramarik’s Jesus: The Missing Years painting at Beloved Gallery, surrounded by celestial imagery.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/image-1-1024x1024.png) ![Guest reflecting on Akiane Kramarik’s Jesus: The Missing Years painting, depicting a teenage Jesus with a cosmic backdrop at Beloved Gallery.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Jan-2025-Newsletter-2-1024x1024.png) God exists beyond time, making it all the more profound that He entered it as a human. In another painting she also created at age 10, [*Dreams*](https://akiane.com/product/dreams/), Akiane again depicted Jesus as a teenager, revealing places and events she did not know. When asked about these images as a child artist, she answered, “God knows everything and talks with me.” [*Dreams*](https://akiane.com/product/dreams/) features past, present, and future buildings. To Akiane, the color orange represents listening. ![A visitor viewing Akiane Kramarik's painting "Jesus: The Missing Years," depicting a young Jesus in a white robe hovering over a cityscape that blends past, present, and future architectural styles, set against a vibrant orange sunset sky.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/4-1024x1024.png) ![A family of three viewing Akiane Kramarik's painting "Jesus: The Missing Years" in a gallery setting.

He finds remarkable ways to be close to us, the most amazing being that He became human. God is with us in every moment: in every thought, every joy, every tear, every sorrow, and every breath. A union with Him is always available to us when we make room. Let this be our year of seeking Emmanuel’s face more and more, revealing His unconditional love and eternal life to all who hear His story.

Little did she know what was in store. Both mother and daughter floated effortlessly between each colorful masterpiece by the child prodigy, reading Akiane’s poetry and thought-provoking words. When they finally landed in the *Prince of Peace* Sanctuary, the pair lingered. “There were so many different emotions in the face that Akiane painted, depending on how you looked at it,” Kynnadi, a high schooler who loves theater and dancing, recalled in describing her profound experience of seeing *Prince of Peace*. “His eyes were comforting. They stare into your soul.

I met her two years ago after having several experiences with God. My childhood was similar to hers because I had many spiritual experiences. However, it was the spiritual awakening I had on December 21, 2021, that led me to start following Akiane’s paintings. She left a sign of her own awakening in all of the paintings in this exhibition, especially the paintings from 2022. Thank you for this experience; it was very special to me. – Caroline [ SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE ](https://belovedgallery.org/share-your-experience/) ![Belóved Gallery](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/logo-1-e1734629172244-1024x139.png) ###### Gallery #### FALL AFFAIR ###### OCTOBER 24-25, 2025 ##### COMMISSIONED: SHARING Faith THROUGH Art ![Akiane Kramarik takes a photo with an admirer at The FALL AFFAIR 2024](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_26993-1024x1024.jpg) ![Belóved Gallery patrons view Akiane's "Prince of Peace"](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_2699-1024x1024.jpg) ![Akiane Kramarik and fan](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_26992-1024x1024.jpg) Our 3rd Annual Fall Affair, *Commissioned: Sharing Faith through Art*, will be held October 24-25, 2025.

Often, it indicates that individuals, organizations, or even governments have requested a specific artist to create for them. The buyer and the artist negotiate the terms and parameters of the work, and the buyer sometimes provides feedback, getting to be a part of the artistic process. Essentially, a commission is an interchange between people that brings meaning and impact into the world. ##### COMMISSIONED: SHARING Faith THROUGH Art What does it mean then to be commissioned by God? Often, we equate the term to being given a specific purpose or mission in spreading the gospel. Yet, at the core, there is much more. Commissioning first requires an interchange between God and us. We must form an understanding of Him as the original Artist and also as the Buyer – the one who purchased us all through the blood of Jesus. Then, there are the processes of dreaming, growing, and creating in God. Not all commissions look the same, and not all require traveling. Commissioning must start in our hearts and the practices of our daily relationship with Jesus. Join us at Belóved Gallery’s third annual Fall Affair, Commissioned: Sharing Faith through Art, which will be held on October 24-26, 2025, with Master Fine Artist Akiane Kramarik in attendance. We’ll explore what it means to be commissioned! [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Feb-FA-Email-1024x474.png) ](https://belovedgallery.org/a-fall-affair-2025/) Last year, we discussed how *Heaven is Real* and ways we can bring Heaven into our daily lives. We heard from speakers who have had near-death experiences of Heaven, like Pastor and Author Dean Braxton. Artist Sam Ryan gave us insight into his process as he seeks to reveal eternity through his creations. John Burke, the New York Times Bestselling Author of *Imagine Heaven* and *Imagine the God of Heaven*, had a powerful conversation with Akiane about the spiritual nature of her work and how it connects to his research on near-death experiences. Watch for videos of these sessions to be released soon! The word commissioned means to appoint, produce, and bring into working condition. An artist can be commissioned to create a meaningful work of art. God also commissioned us into His family as sons and daughters, individual masterpieces designed by the Master Artist Himself. Jesus’s final words on earth called for the great commission, an invitation to share with the entire world the profound work of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, His unbreakable love for everyone, and His promise of eternal life to bring us all into His family.

In front of Akiane's Prince of Peace, she experienced a profound connection, hearing the words, “Anne, I believe in you.” This moment of divine reassurance ignited hope in her heart, reminding her to continue her journey. Discover how Anne's story intertwines with themes of loss, restoration, and faith, and explore the transformative power of art at Belóved Gallery. **Content:** #### \#iam\_beloved Sharing Stories of Faith ![am_beloved Anne Evans2](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/am_beloved-Anne-Evans2-1024x576.png) ### Presence of God: Meet Anne Evans One year to the day her son, Stewart, was in a fatal accident, Anne Evans arrived at Belóved Gallery to take a tour of [*Akiane: The Early Years*](https://belovedgallery.org/exhibition/). It also happened to be Good Friday. As soon as she walked in, her heaviness lifted. “I could feel the presence of God right away and instantly started crying. When I got to the room with the Prince of Peace, I wanted to look at that face forever. I got lost in those eyes. I couldn’t even speak words out of my mouth, but I was speaking them from my heart. It was like meeting Him face to face.” And then, something happened. “I heard the words, ‘Anne, I believe in you,’” she shared with Team Belóved after her tour. “When I was feeling weary and wanted to be with my son in Heaven, He said to me ‘I believe in you!’ It was exactly what I needed to hear – not to cut my race short but to finish it.” ![am_beloved Anne Evans3](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/am_beloved-Anne-Evans3-1024x576.png) Anne first saw Akiane speak at Bethel Church in Redding, California when Akiane was 14 years old and was deeply moved by her artwork, especially Prince of Peace. “Akiane experienced the same thing with her portrait of Jesus. A loss and then a resurrection.” Some don’t know that the painting was lost for almost two decades before being miraculously recovered. “It’s helpful to hear another person’s story about restoration. It confirms the hope that is in our hearts and mirrors what God is doing in my life and my daughters’ lives. He is restoring the grief.” Stewart suffered an anoxic brain injury. He lost consciousness immediately and never regained it before passing on. While the doctors couldn’t confirm it, they speculated Stewart also had a C2 fracture and was paralyzed from the neck down. Anne recalled the last moments of Stewart’s time on earth. The family circled around his hospital bed, holding hands and praying. “As he took his last breath, Stewart slowly raised his arms, turned them toward heaven, and lifted his back off the back of the bed. Then, he slowly lowered them and laid back down. He was gone. It was God’s kiss to us all to see through his body what was going on spiritually.” ![Iam_beloved Anne Evans1](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Iam_beloved-Anne-Evans1.png) An anoxic brain injury means Stewart didn’t even have 1% of life on his brain. The doctors confirmed it was medically impossible for him to do what he did at the end. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/am_beloved-Anne-Evans4-1024x576.png) Months after her first visit, Anne returned to the Belóved Gallery and again was in awe of the Prince of Peace painting. “When I look into the left eye, I feel all the compassion and the mercy that God feels for people. How much He loves mankind and that He’s so sorry for their pain. And then, in the right eye, there is so much hope and promise. When you have a great loss, you want hope restored. People are coming to Belóved Gallery for a reason that maybe their soul doesn’t know but their spirit is drawing them here.” **Support Our Mission** Your generosity powers Belóved Gallery’s mission to inspire faith through art.

While similarities can often be found within these stories, one theme has consistently emerged: guests notice the humanity of Jesus found in Akiane’s paintings. They express how much His humanity connects to their hearts. They feel seen and understood, valuing that Jesus walked on this earth and shared in our suffering. During an [\#iam\_beloved](https://belovedgallery.org/iam-beloved/) interview, Beami Strong shared about his life prior to his first visit to Belóved Gallery. He endured a lot of trauma growing up, often questioning his worth and purpose on earth. Beami had been introduced to God but struggled to connect with Him. “I wondered about Jesus and asked, ‘Is this guy even real?’” Beami expressed. “Many people feel like they can’t relate to Jesus because they think he’s a bigger-than-life entity. That’s how I felt. How could He understand my problems?” One day, working as an Uber driver, Beami dropped a handful of people off at Belóved Gallery. Out of curiosity, he returned the next day to tour the exhibition, *Akiane: The Early Years*. Standing before the *Prince of Peace* painting, Beami was struck by the humanity portrayed in the face of Jesus. “I was so overcome with emotion, I had to sit down,” he later shared. Beami learned about Jesus’s life on earth and that He was fully God and fully human. Not only did Jesus feel the full range of human emotions, but He endured great heartbreak and suffering. He was persecuted, abused, and betrayed. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/4-1024x1024.png) Beami observes "Father Forgive Them," one of four paintings in the collection featuring Jesus. “I felt like I could relate to things Jesus experienced,” Beami shared. “That changed everything.” Jesus, in His human form, became touchable to Beami. Because of that, a newfound hope began guiding Beami’s life. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2-1024x1024.png) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/1-1024x1024.png) Another guest saw Akiane’s art in person for the first time while struggling to find work. Tiffany wondered if God was present in her situation. She pointed out Akiane’s unique way of portraying Jesus in the various stages of His earthly life, as seen in paintings like *Dreams* and *The Missing Years*, both on view at Belóved Gallery. “To know that He was a human being—that He came as a baby, grew into a toddler, a child, a teenager, and a grown man—and to know He’s had all the same experiences we’ve had, it allows for a deeper personal connection to Him,” she mused. When Tiffany stood before the *Prince of Peace,* she was familiar with the face as a child because her grandmother displayed a print of the painting in her home. Seeing the face again, this time the original artwork, she felt an overwhelming reassurance that Jesus understood and was with her. It wasn’t too long after that Tiffany found a job. These reflections from our guests feel timely, as so many people are looking for evidence of goodness amidst the suffering of this world. Their stories signify a longing in the human heart: to know that we aren’t alone in our most significant challenges and darkest moments. Our spirits cry out for a God near us who knows what it is like to walk on this groaning earth with broken hearts. The glorious thing is that we have One in Jesus. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/3-1024x1024.png) Tiffany stands before the original Prince of Peace, finding a turning point in her journey and a reminder that, even in our darkest moments, God is near. When Akiane painted her portrait of Jesus, “the face of love,” she was compelled to portray Him with light on one side of his face and shadow on the other. In her book, *Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry*, she writes, “The light side of his face represents Heaven. And the dark side represents suffering on Earth. His light eye in the dark shows He’s with us in all our troubles, and He is the Light when we need Him.” Even as an eight-year-old, Akiane understood the importance of a Heavenly God being with us in our sufferings.These reflections from our guests feel timely, as so many people are looking for evidence of goodness amidst the suffering of this world. Their stories signify a longing in the human heart: to know that we aren’t alone in our most significant challenges and darkest moments. Our spirits cry out for a God near us who knows what it is like to walk on this groaning earth with broken hearts. The glorious thing is that we have One in Jesus. > Philippians 2:6-8 tells us: “6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross." (NLT) Jesus’s suffering revealed His humanity, but even more so, it is evidence of His eternal love for us. The One who knows what it’s like to be God also knows what it’s like to be human. The One who could do anything in His Divinity gave it all to be with us in our humanity. Jesus’s human actions are a model for walking through this life and overcoming challenges. His earthly steps show us the way to eternal victory. His human death and divine resurrection ensure that suffering doesn’t get the final say. That, beloved, is a story worth telling. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/one-year-community-reflections-1024x320.jpg) “I felt very ashamed that I had lived so close to this gallery and had not been until today.

They stare into your soul. He had this strength that reminded me Jesus will take care of me.” A few years ago, Steve, father to Kynnadi and husband to Janai, passed away suddenly. While it has been a long road, both mother and daughter know they will be reunited with Steve one day because of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. “Seeing Akiane’s painting confirmed how God reveals Himself to mankind,” Janai shared. “Jesus is real. He knows our pains. I felt a moment of deep intimacy where the tears came. Akiane’s painting is one of those things that confirms your faith.” ![Janai overcome with emotion at Beloved Gallery while reflecting on Akiane Kramarik’s art.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/IMG_3303-1024x683.jpeg) Janai and her daughter stood together in silence, but there was a shared communion between them. “There was something beautiful about it,” Janai reflected later. “We each have our own relationship with Jesus, but the gallery provided this unique experience we could share together. I will never forget it.” As the two turned to leave, Kynnadi revisited *Jesus: The Missing Years*, a portrait of a teenage Jesus completed by Akiane at age ten. “It’s not something you see or think about often – Jesus being a teenager,” Kynnadi smiled. “He seemed the same age as me in the painting. I realized He lived a full-blown life and probably had struggles, too.

Recently, Akiane visited Belóved Gallery and shared her reflections on our first year. As the creator of Prince of Peace and someone who has heard these inspired stories longer than anyone else, she had something profound to say about their impact.

Despite the struggles, she emerged as a practitioner helping others navigate trauma and stress. Her visit to Belóved Gallery deepened her understanding of suffering and love, especially through the story of young artist Akiane. “Suffering is part of the human experience,” Sarah reflects, emphasizing the choice to embrace love amid hardship. Her insights inspire us to find hope and purpose, even in our darkest moments. Discover how Sarah’s journey intertwines with the mission of Belóved Gallery and the power of faith through art. **Content:** #### \#iam\_beloved Sharing Stories of Faith ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Sarah2-1024x683.png) ### The Heartbeat of Our Work: Meet Sarah Sherwood At a very young age, Sarah’s life became marked by chronic pain and health issues. Her days were riddled with the loss of capacities and abilities. Everyday tasks were constant challenges, with the added weight of endless doctors’ bills and deep disappointment from missing out on the many things her peers took for granted. Still, Sarah learned to navigate her health challenges with heroic courage, eventually becoming a practitioner who specializes in working with unhealthy patterns of behavior caused by trauma and stress – behaviors that hold people back from living a full life. Not only has she helped numerous clients move through their challenges to reclaim life with joy and passion, but Sarah has also become a model of what it looks like to fulfill one’s purpose, even amid long suffering. Thus, it isn’t surprising that the themes of suffering, hope, and love caught her eye when she visited Belóved Gallery. “I was really touched to hear little Akaine ask her mom, ‘Why was I chosen?’” Sarah shared about the exhibition film, Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist, alluding to an especially painful moment nine-year-old Akiane is told her portrait of Jesus is blasphemous and that it should be burned. This was only a few months before the painting was stolen and hidden away for almost two decades. “Akiane’s been given a very special gift that comes with a purpose, and in expressing her gift to the world, she’s experienced both high praise and the shadowy dark underbelly of human nature. She has to embrace both sides of the reality she’s been given, which comes with beautiful experiences and a lot of heartache, pain, and confusion, but she’s done it gracefully. I respect and admire that about her.” In the Prince of Peace Sanctuary, Sarah put her hands over her heart and stood for several minutes, looking into Jesus’s face. “Akiane’s painting is literally about love and suffering being embodied in the same person.” When describing the deeply familiar feeling of seeing a life-long friend, Sarah talked about the power of Jesus’s ability to understand our suffering and heartbreak. “He laid down his life in love and fulfilled his purpose. It came with great victory and great cost to Him.” While with the painting, Sarah asked God, “Is there anything you want to say to me?” She heard the words “live and love.” For her, the words become a waypoint – a question she can ask herself anytime she faces the more challenging parts of her story. Am I living in love? And what does that mean for this circumstance? ![Sarah Sherwood iam_beloved Beloved Gallery black and white](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Sarah.png) “Suffering is part of the human experience, and we can’t avoid it. Culturally, we’re set up to minimize it or avoid it. But when we experience suffering, loss, disappointments, or trauma, ultimately, it has a hand in shaping us. There are many things outside of my control, but how I embrace the path of suffering or difficult circumstances can either make me more shut down or protected, or it can help me come to the end of myself and recognize that I can choose love. And when we choose love in places of deep suffering, it allows us to keep hoping, commune with our Creator, and fulfill our purpose.” **Support Our Mission** Your generosity powers Belóved Gallery’s mission to inspire faith through art.

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the third annual [Belóved Gala](https://www.classy.org/event/2025-beloved-gala/e665363) on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Horseshoe Bay Resort with special host Master Fine Artist [Akiane Kramarik](https://akiane.com/?utm_source=beloved-gallery&utm_medium=email). This year’s theme, *Commissioned: Sharing Faith Through Art*, supports Belóved Gallery’s mission for people of all backgrounds to experience faith through art and is particularly relevant to us. To be commissioned means to be chosen and entrusted with the task of creating something meaningful, often for a specific purpose or audience. It involves a sense of responsibility, growth, and the use of our gifts. When commissioned by God, this calling goes deeper—it becomes a sacred commitment to inspire, uplift, and reflect divine truth in our everyday lives. Our callings are not only about accomplishments, but about the journey of co-creating with God, no matter where we find ourselves or what season of life we are in. In accepting this commission, we see God’s redemptive story in us touching others. As the world around us grows hungry to know the full extent of God’s love, there is no better time than now to deepen our partnership with Him and discover all that is possible through Him. This gala is more than an event—it’s a sacred invitation to join us in preparing our hearts before God for a purpose greater than ourselves. Through art, film, music, dance, and storytelling, we’ll share an evening exploring God’s calling on each of us to reflect His glory. A powerful, immersive 360-degree worship experience, led by award-winning music producer [Ramy Antoun](https://ramyantoun.com/about?utm_source=Pardot&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=2024+Gala+Launch&utm_campaign=Fall+Affair+2024) and the Rev 1211 Orchestra, will open hearts and awaken divine connection and inspiration. Sponsors and VIP ticket holders will enjoy an exclusive meet-and-greet reception with Akiane, joined by faith and art influencers. *This gathering will feature an exclusive exhibition of her original masterpieces, which the public has rarely had the opportunity to see.* [ Learn more ](https://www.classy.org/event/2025-beloved-gala/e665363) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/newsletter-divider-091523.png) #### A Personal Invitation from Akiane Our featured VIP host, Master Fine Artist Akiane Kramarik, personally invites you to join us for an extraordinary evening.

Do you exist in the inanimate world, if every raindrop shows no color, not even white or clear? You are the breathing survivor of spiritual perfection in the sevenfold universe, where the center of the wonder orb is shaken, and I frame myself live, sculpting out of myself the spiritual fabric to dress up all of you. At first the universe progress feels like a statue of melancholic fog, and only your breath can know, how sore my throat is, as it spits out a heart bubble, where my clear eyes and woolen hair is seen. Retiming your resurrected gaze, I pass the future earth to you, so you could write my name on it and pass it on to everyone around this slippery world. When clouds turn into puddles for the children to walk on, this is your chance to help the innocent… Now you comprehend, why the unstable sandals are also on your hands… ## - Akiane, Age 10 ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Akiane-Feature-Film_Title-Treatment_Akaine-Love-Tag_KO-WHITE-1024x470.png) **Categories:** International Collection --- ### [Prince of Peace - Seoul](https://belovedgallery.org/prince-of-peace-kr/) **Published:** October 26, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Content:** #### 컬렉션을 만나보세요 *Experience the Collection* ### 아키아나: 예술을 통한 믿음의 여정 Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art ### 아키아나: 예술을 통한 믿음의 여정 Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art [ 한국어 ](#korean) [ English ](#english) 평강의 왕 [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PrinceOfPeace-808x1024.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PrinceOfPeace.jpg) #### 아키아나 크래매릭 | 8세 #### 매체: 아키아나의 손길로 마감한 미술관급 지클리 - 원화 소장처: 미국 텍사스주 비러브드 갤러리 <아키아나: 초기 생애> 전시장 수년간 꿈과 환상 속에 흐릿하게 찾아왔던 <평강의 왕>. 어느 오후, 한 신비로운 목수가 우리 집 문을 두드린 뒤에야 나는 소망의 이야기를 그릴 때가 되었음을 알았다.

As a child, one face kept appearing to me in my dreams and visions. I knew this face was not just any face, but a face of somebody who could open people’s hearts to be the best they can be. A face that could spread love, peace and unity. ## - Akiane, Age 8 ## IT'S NOT TOO LATE Perhaps I wanted to catch it. Perhaps not. But one morning I wanted to paint the wings– Too late–they fley away. I wanted to paint a flower– Too late–it withered. That night the rain was running after me. Each drop of rain showed one and the same face, and it was everywhere. I wrung out the love to mark the red. I wrung out the stumps to make the brown. I wrung out the trust to make the yellow. I wrung out my own eyes to make the blue. I wrung out the leaves to make the green. I wrung out the nightly pain to make the black, I wrung out my grandmother’s hair to make the gray. I wrung out my visions to make the violet. I wrung out the truth to make the white. Today I want to paint God’s face– It’s not too late.

It’s more expressionistic than realistic, and that’s the way I wanted it to be, a place where empty silence could also be mistaken, a place where through the sounds of nature you could hear a living silence.

Sometimes dreams fall like raindrops from the very eye of the storm… Holding onto antlers of the spring, Like onto the spasms of the future, I blow wild feathers in the wind.

바람 속 열여섯 생명 처음 아키아나가 눈여겨 본 것은 그의 거친 머리칼이었다. 바람에 자유롭게 흩날리는 다인종의 영혼, 미래의 작품이 머릿속에 그려졌다. ‘금세 완성되겠지’라며 쉽게 여겼다. 그러나 이 얼굴의 진정한 개성을 찾기까지 1년여간 세 대륙을 오가며 수십 명의 모델을 변주해야 할 거라곤 예상하지 못했다. 어찌 알았을까? 캔버스 속 신비로운 인물이 열여섯 개의 전혀 다른 얼굴을 거쳐, 마침내 억누르던 껍질을 벗고 해방을 맞이할 줄. <바람 속 열여섯 생명>은 치열한 체험에서 드러난 의식과 진실됨으로 빚어진 서사가 되었다. 정직하고 겸손하며 감사하는 삶을 통해 만족을 발견하는 이야기였다. 생존의 가면과 거짓 믿음, 허상인지 진실인지 모르는 것들, 드러난 것이든 잠들어 있는 것이든 조상들의 유전적 영향까지, 바람 속으로 흩날려 사라져 버렸다. 모든 혼란과 원망, 슬픔은 마침내 풀려나 진정한 평화와 조화의 자각이 그 자리를 메웠다. 캔버스에 덧칠하면서, 올바른 감정을 찾아 한 얼굴을 보내고 또 다른 얼굴을 놓아주었다. 그것은 아키아나가 겪은 가장 힘겹고 고통스럽고 끈질긴 창작의 여정이었다. 그러나 침묵의 흐름과 내면의 빛을 붙잡을 다른 길은 없었다. 한 인간 안에 살아있는 참된 영혼을 발견할 다른 길은 없었다. ##### 아키아나: 예술을 통한 믿음의 여정 ##### 아키아나: 예술을 통한 믿음의 여정 ##### *Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art* ##

Sixteen Lives in the Wind At first, she noticed his wild hair. Then, almost immediately, she caught sight of her future painting: the freedom of a multi-racial spirit blowing in the wind. It would be a breeze, she thought to herself, assessing the easiness of her future project. But little did she suspect it would take her almost a year conceptualizing and working in three continents and morphing dozens of models to discover the real personality of the portrait. Little did she know that a mysterious character on her canvas would experience sixteen distinctly different identities, eventually liberating and releasing all but the most inhibited. Sixteen Lives in the Wind became a story of consciousness revealed through intense experiences and expressed through integrity—a story of finding contentment through honest, humble and grateful living. All the masks of survival and their crippling beliefs, illusionary or true, and all the influences of epigenetically revealed or still dormant ancestry codes had been blown away in the wind. All the confusion, resentment, and grief had been finally released, giving way to genuine peacefulness and harmonious self-awareness. Repainting the canvas, searching for the right emotion and letting one face go after another, turned into the most grueling, the most agonizing and the most relentless creative endeavor Akiane had ever encountered. Yet there was no other way of capturing the movement of silence and the inner light she was seeking. No other way of finding the true living spirit within one man. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Akiane-Feature-Film_Title-Treatment_Akaine-Love-Tag_KO-WHITE-1024x470.png) **Categories:** International Collection --- ### [Self Portrait](https://belovedgallery.org/self-portrait/) **Published:** September 19, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Discover the captivating world of Akiane Kramarik, a young prodigy whose art transcends the ordinary and invites viewers on a profound journey of faith.

빛 우주는 무수한 모습으로 우리 앞에 펼쳐진다. 그러나 빛이 없으면 우주는 텅 빈 곳일 뿐이다. 멀리서 보면, 세상은 밤의 반딧불처럼 스쳐 가는 빛에 불과하다. 멀리서 보면, 우리의 삶은 너무도 하찮아 보일지 모른다. 우리의 가장 큰 승리와 투쟁조차 덧없어 보일 수 있다. 그러나 우리 한 사람 한 사람이 없다면 우주는 자라날 수 없다. 우리의 영원한 길은 서로가 지나가기를 기다려야 하는 좁은 길이다. 모든 무한의 가능성으로 이어지는 다리다. 이 다리 위에는 언제나 우리를 기다리는 분이 있다. 언제나. 그분은 빛이다. 그 빛이 내줄수록 더욱 풍성해진다. 그 빛이 닿는 것은 모두 깨어난다. 이 다리 위에서, 모든 숨결과 심장은 환영받고 품에 안긴다. 가끔 그 빛이 시간을 초월할 때, 모든 기억은 하나의 완전한 메아리로 모인다. 그 순간 우리는 모두 이 소리를 들을 수 있다. “영원은 그리 멀지 않다.” – Akiane, Age 10 ##### 아키아나: 예술을 통한 믿음의 여정 ##### 아키아나: 예술을 통한 믿음의 여정 ##### *Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art* ##

The Light We can see the universe in so many ways. . . But when not illuminated, it looks all empty. From far away, our world, like a firefly at night, appears lit only momentarily. From far away, our life might appear completely insignificant. Even our biggest victories and struggles may seem meaningless. Yet without any of us, the universe could not grow. Our eternal path is a narrow path where we need to wait for others to pass us. It is a bridge to all infinite possibilities. On this bridge, someone always waits for us. Always. It is the Light. The more the Light gives…the more is left. Whatever the Light touches is awakened. On this bridge, every breath and every heartbeat is welcomed and embraced. And once in a while…when the Light transcends time, all the memories become one complete echo, and we all can hear “Eternity is not that long. – Akiane, Age 10 ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Akiane-Feature-Film_Title-Treatment_Akaine-Love-Tag_KO-WHITE-1024x470.png) **Categories:** International Collection --- ### [Flow of Time](https://belovedgallery.org/flow-of-time/) **Published:** September 26, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Discover the captivating world of Akiane Kramarik, a young prodigy whose art transcends the ordinary and invites viewers on a profound journey of faith.

Life Maze There are times when it appears that we have been planted like delicate trees somewhere in the middle of the most bewildering maze of life without any map and without any way out. We get disillusioned that we will never be able to escape this meticulously managed labyrinth. Because of exasperation, self–preservation or domination, many start growing over the weakest and the youngest in order to see their own way out of the dead end. It takes patience and maturity to find the real map of our existence, and it takes time to realize that we need each other’s guidance and trust in order to make this intense lifetime to be purposeful and fulfilling. Only when we connect our roots and branches with one another, and only when we help everyone around us grow and reach higher, can we discover our best course through life. – Akiane, Age 10 ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Akiane-Feature-Film_Title-Treatment_Akaine-Love-Tag_KO-WHITE-1024x470.png) **Categories:** International Collection --- ### [Immortal](https://belovedgallery.org/immortal/) **Published:** September 22, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Discover the captivating world of Akiane Kramarik, a young prodigy whose art transcends the ordinary and invites viewers on a profound journey of faith.

불멸 세계 여행 중, 아키아나에게 단순한 구상이 떠올랐고 며칠 만에 표현할 수 있을 줄 알았다. 그러나 아주 작은 캔버스 위에서 태어난 이 작품은 그녀의 그림 중 가장 복잡하고도 신비로운 원작이 되었다. 수많은 실험과 은유가 수백 겹의 물감 아래 묻히고, 수십 점의 그림이 이어지는 몇 주 동안 그녀는 점점 좌절해 갔다. 모든 작업을 포기하려던 순간, 눈앞에 하나의 메시지가 떠올랐다. “깃털 하나하나는 새로운 비행이자, 새로운 여정이며, 새로운 경험이다. 그것은 순간과 영원을 이어주는 다리다. 우리는 빛으로 가득할 때에만 잊히지 않고 존재할 수 있다.” 이내 아키아나는 마지막 붓질을 더했다. 작품을 마주한 이들은 영감 어린 끝없는 여정의 캔버스 속으로 빠져들었다. 바라볼수록 더 많은 신비가 드러났다. 순전한 호기심과 인내심으로 무장한 사람들은 돋보기를 들고 겹겹이 숨어 있는 이야기와 암호들을 발견할 수 있었다. – Akiane, Age 10 ##### 아키아나: 예술을 통한 믿음의 여정 ##### 아키아나: 예술을 통한 믿음의 여정 ##### *Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art* ##

Immortal In the middle of her world travels Akiane developed a simple concept which was meant to take only a few days to illustrate. Even though she worked on one of the smallest canvases, it turned out to be one of her most complicated and most mysterious originals that she had ever created. Over a period of many weeks, after dozens of completed paintings and countless experimental metaphors had been abandoned under hundreds of layers of paints, Akiane became more and more frustrated, and, when she was about to discard the entire project, a message manifested in front of her: “Each feather is a new flight, a new journey, and a new experience, bridging temporal and permanent existence. We cannot live unnoticed only when we are filled with light.” Shortly after, Akiane added the last layer of paints, and those who observed it suddenly found themselves absorbed into the bottomless canvas of an inspired expedition: the longer they examined it, the more mysteries they discovered. Equipped with a magnifying glass, sheer curiosity, the most patient art enthusiasts were able to discover numerous superimposed and hidden stories and codes. – Akiane, Age 10 ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Akiane-Feature-Film_Title-Treatment_Akaine-Love-Tag_KO-WHITE-1024x470.png) **Categories:** International Collection --- ### [Divine Compass](https://belovedgallery.org/divine-compass/) **Published:** September 21, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Discover the captivating world of Akiane Kramarik, a young prodigy whose art transcends the ordinary and invites viewers on a profound journey of faith.

Triumph Only in this world past is deaf, present is blind and future is mute. In eternity every intention and mystery is exposed. In time and outside of time, the ultimate equalizer is free will. An illusion can never go faster than the speed limit of reality. The future has no room for a faulty victory. The end always serves the beginning. Formidable forces weave the fabric of the cosmos, but no matter how long the trials last and no matter how devastating and iniquitous they become, in the end, only the side of truth and benevolence wins. Extraordinary powers that influence countless beings through eons of time may appear invincible to most observers, but as colossal revelations take place within the time and space continuum only those who protect integrity and love TRIUMPH. – Akiane, Age 10 ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Akiane-Feature-Film_Title-Treatment_Akaine-Love-Tag_KO-WHITE-1024x470.png) **Categories:** International Collection --- ### [Collections - Turquoise Eyes](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-turquoise-eyes-2/) **Published:** March 28, 2025 **Author:** David Bean **Content:** ##### Akiane: The Early Years Turquoise Eyes [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TurquoiseEyes-1-1024x865.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TurquoiseEyes-1.jpg) #### AKIANE KRAMARIK | AGE 11 #### MEDIUM: Acrylic on Canvas [ Purchase Prints ](https://akiane.com/product/turquoise-eyes/) [ View on Smartify ](https://app.smartify.org/objects/turquoise-eyes) ## TURQUOISE EYES Every brush stroke of paint got hardened, and all life got dried up. Only a pathway of awe is left— nothing else. When irises glide over me, the interpretation changes, but I still cannot move— being framed like superstition I am a painting on the wall— a pigment on an aged canvas trapped in the museum halls. I try to cry and feel, but I cannot, if I am just a turquoise reflection without any reactions or reinforcements. Maybe one day my linen face will peel off, and I will be taken off this wall. But now I know who I am— I guess I have never lived in the painting after all. – Akiane, Age 11 ##### Other Masterpieces by Akiane ### Our Collection [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TurquoiseEyes-1-300x253.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-turquoise-eyes-2/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TheRelic-1-300x298.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-the-relic/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PlantedEyes-1-226x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-painted-eyes/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PrinceOfPeace-237x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/prince-of-peace/) [ ![Painting of a young child gazing at the universe, titled 'The Journey' by Akiane Kramarik.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TheHourney-242x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-the-journey/) [ ![Painting of a young ballerina tying her pointe shoes, titled 'This Is My Life' by Akiane Kramarik.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ThisIsMyLife-300x296.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-this-is-my-life/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Courage-1-300x231.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-courage/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Dreams-1-300x240.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/dreams/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/FatherForgiveThem-1-242x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/father-forgive-them/) [ ![Infinite Perspective](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/InfinitePerspective-1-300x207.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-infinite-perspective/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Penguin-1-300x161.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-penguin/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Silence-1-300x228.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-silence/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Symphony-1-300x227.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-symphony/) [ ![Jesus The Missing Years](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/JesusTheMissingYears-1-300x245.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/jesus-the-missing-years/) Discover More from Belóved # Experience Faith Through Art [ Follow ](https://belovedgallery.org/connect/) [ sign up ](https://belovedgallery.org/newsletter/) **Categories:** Collection --- ### [Everlasting](https://belovedgallery.org/everlasting/) **Published:** September 19, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Excerpt:** Discover the captivating world of Akiane Kramarik, a young prodigy whose art transcends the ordinary and invites viewers on a profound journey of faith.

Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he grew up exploring the woods with his dog, fashioning primitive slingshots, and experimenting with fire. By middle school, his fascination with making had evolved into a passion for toolcraft, and he quickly took up woodworking, forging, and pottery. In college, not only did his craft deepen, but also his love of epic adventures, filmmaking, and photography. Today, Bryn lives a quiet, handcrafted life in Milwaukie, Oregon, where his work continues to weave together art, engineering, and adventure. ### Symphony of Art! #### BELÓVED GALLERY ### OCTOBER 24 & 25, 2025 [ TICKETS ](https://belovedgallery.org/symphony-of-art-2025-tickets/) #### Artists and Speakers [ ![Portrait of Bradley Rapier, 2025 Featured Speaker at the Belóved Gallery Symphony of Art, smiling broadly in a white dress shirt against a dark green background.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Bradley-R-1.png) ](https://belovedgallery.org/2025-fall-affair-bradley-rapier/) [ Bradley Rapier ](https://belovedgallery.org/2025-fall-affair-bradley-rapier/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/BY-THE-CANDLELIGHT-PICTURE-scaled-e1755031078279.jpeg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/akiane-kramarik/) [ Akiane Kramarik ](https://belovedgallery.org/akiane-kramarik/) [ ![A young man with light brown hair and a trimmed beard stands in front of a brick wall and painting, wearing a colorful, paint-splattered jacket and necklaces, looking confidently at the camera.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Art-Cultural-Sponsor-1.png) ](https://belovedgallery.org/sam-ryan/) [ Sam Ryan ](https://belovedgallery.org/sam-ryan/) [ ![Bryn Russell 2025 Fall Affair Featured Artist](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Headshot_Bryn-Russell.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/bryn-russell/) [ Bryn Russell ](https://belovedgallery.org/bryn-russell/) [ ![a dynamic author, speaker, fashion designer, and founder of LoveAbbaFather.com—a platform created to help people see themselves the way God sees them: valuable, worthy, and deeply loved.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Lindsay-Headshot-SOA-2025.png) ](https://belovedgallery.org/lindsay-morgan-snyder/) [ Lindsay Morgan Snyder ](https://belovedgallery.org/lindsay-morgan-snyder/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IMG_8525-scaled-e1755030421737.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/gala-meet-the-weigels/) [ Meet The Weigels ](https://belovedgallery.org/gala-meet-the-weigels/) [ ![ira thorne beloved gallery featured musician marble falls tx](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG_6577-scaled-e1755032813614.jpeg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/ira-thorne/) [ Ira Thorne ](https://belovedgallery.org/ira-thorne/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Untitled-1.jpeg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/amy-hooper/) [ Amy Hooper ](https://belovedgallery.org/amy-hooper/) [ ![Jo James Artists in the Round Beloved Gallery Fall Affair 2025](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jo-James-1-scaled-e1757439262909.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/jo-james/) [ Jo James ](https://belovedgallery.org/jo-james/) [ ![david duque artists in the round beloved gallery fall affair 2025](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/david-13-scaled-e1757372486589.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/david-duque/) [ David Duque ](https://belovedgallery.org/david-duque/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Abe-The-Ambassadorpromo-BW-Photo-e1757088484434.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/abe-the-ambassador/) [ Abe the Ambassador ](https://belovedgallery.org/abe-the-ambassador/) **Categories:** Fall Affair Speakers and Artists, SOA Artists 2025, Speakers --- ### [Gala 2025 - Auction Items](https://belovedgallery.org/2025-beloved-gala-auction-items/) **Published:** July 21, 2025 **Author:** Alaina Wood **Excerpt:** Join us for one of the most inspiring evenings of the year—a spirit-filled celebration of faith through art with world-renowned Master Fine Artist Akiane Kramarik in person!

The Weigels went on to co-write and produce *Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot*, based on the true story of 22 families in rural Texas who adopted 77 children from the foster care system. As adoptive parents themselves, they were deeply moved by the story and relocated from Los Angeles to Texas to bring the film to life. **Categories:** Speakers --- ### [Lindsay Morgan Snyder](https://belovedgallery.org/lindsay-morgan-snyder/) **Published:** September 10, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Content:** 2025 *Symphony of Art!* Speaker & Artist # Lindsay Morgan Snyder [ ![a dynamic author, speaker, fashion designer, and founder of LoveAbbaFather.com—a platform created to help people see themselves the way God sees them: valuable, worthy, and deeply loved.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Lindsay-Headshot-SOA-2025-1024x1024.png) ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Lindsay-Headshot-SOA-2025.png) [ Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/lindsaymorgansnyder) [ Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/LindsayMorganSnyder/) [ Youtube ](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg9WYuqIo1BOPJ7mk64jsww) [ Tiktok ](https://www.tiktok.com/@lindsaymorgansnyder) #### Lindsay Morgan Snyder #### Author, Speaker, Founder of LoveAbbaFather.com, Fashion Brand Creator, & Talk Show Host [ Other Artists ](https://belovedgallery.org/symphony-of-art-2025/#the-line-up) [ More on symphony of Art ](https://belovedgallery.org/events/symphony-of-art-2025) ## About Lindsay Lindsay Morgan Snyder is a dynamic author, speaker, fashion designer, and founder of LoveAbbaFather.com—a platform created to help people see themselves the way God sees them: valuable, worthy, and deeply loved. A former six-figure marketing executive and communications major (just one class shy of her MBA), Lindsay pivoted her career after encountering Jesus at age 31. That turning point led her to dedicate her work to advancing God’s Kingdom through media, leadership, and storytelling. Her creativity shines through her fashion brand, featuring meaningful designs like “Beautiful Like Your Creator” and “Love Abba Father,” along with a sleek monogrammed line inspired by Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn, according to her son in Vanity Fair, never fully believed she was beautiful—an idea Lindsay challenges through fashion, sparking conversations about beauty, worth, and value. Lindsay has worked under the renowned leadership expert John C Maxwell, contributed to global events such as Chick-fil-A Leadercast, and collaborated with organizations including MGM Studios, Marriott International, Joyce Meyer Ministries, Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, Salem Media Company, AI technology firms, and local government leaders. Lindsay’s deep experience in business, ministry, and media continues to fuel her unique approach to self-leadership—one that integrates faith, emotional health, and personal growth. She’s the author of Letting Love In: How God Renews Relationships by Crushing Your Inner Critic and creator of the Letting Love In Program—an 8-week transformational experience that guides people in confronting lies, embracing God’s love, and leading from the inside out. Her vibrant presence was first recognized by CBS Atlanta’s Better Mornings, which featured her in a four-part segment highlighting her innovative and heart-led work with children, fueled by her own upbringing and passion for creative education. Lindsay also hosts *The Lindsay Morgan Snyder Show*, a bold, self-produced talk show where she interviews Hollywood Christians and explores raw questions, such as: “What’s one thing you thought was love—only to find out it was toxic?” At 48, unmarried and unapologetically curious, Lindsay approaches each episode like a thoughtful detective, inviting viewers to explore: What is love, really? In a real-life plot twist, God led her into acting at 46—a brand-new world where her inner critic showed up like a caffeinated commentator. But she’s embracing the adventure and hopes to land a small role in the 12-episode faith-based rom-com she’s currently developing, full of beauty, honesty, and laughter about finding love. She’s also creating a children’s cartoon to help kids overcome the lies of the enemy and walk in truth from a young age. These Kingdom-centered projects need a little financial love, so if you know someone who values faith, laughter, leadership, and the beauty of imperfection, send them her way!

This past summer, at age 16, she received her first vision from God during a Sunday church service—an image of His hands lifting a girl from rushing waters and holding her safely. Only days later, devastating floods struck Central Texas, and the vision took on profound meaning. Through this experience, McKlayne has been encouraged by the Lord’s nearness and confirmed in her call to step out in faith, continuing to pursue and develop the artistic gifts He has entrusted to her. ### Symphony of Art! #### BELÓVED GALLERY ### OCTOBER 24 & 25, 2025 [ TICKETS ](https://belovedgallery.org/symphony-of-art-2025-tickets/) #### Artists and Speakers [ ![Portrait of Bradley Rapier,

Rooted in Americana, blues, and soul, his sound is raw and heartfelt, echoing both struggle and hope. From the moment he first picked up a guitar at eight years old to discovering his voice in church, music has been more than sound for Jo—it’s been survival, healing, and connection. His songs rise from lived experience: the highs, the heartbreak, the late nights wrestling with purpose, identity, and faith. Through seasons of deep personal and spiritual struggle, Jo encountered true healing through his relationship with God. That journey of pain and restoration now shapes every note he plays and every lyric he writes. On stage, Jo’s performances feel less like concerts and more like soul-stirring encounters—gritty, passionate, and deeply authentic. He’s not chasing fame; he’s chasing connection. His music is an invitation for the weary, the searching, and the hungry to find something real. For Jo James, music isn’t about the spotlight. It’s about soul. It’s about presence. And it’s about leaving people a little more seen, a little more hopeful, and a little more alive than they were before. ### Symphony of Art! #### BELÓVED GALLERY ### OCTOBER 24 & 25, 2025 [ TICKETS ](https://belovedgallery.org/symphony-of-art-2025-tickets/) #### Artists and Speakers [ ![Portrait of Bradley Rapier, 2025 Featured Speaker at the Belóved Gallery Symphony of Art, smiling broadly in a white dress shirt against a dark green background.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Bradley-R-1.png) ](https://belovedgallery.org/2025-fall-affair-bradley-rapier/) [ Bradley Rapier ](https://belovedgallery.org/2025-fall-affair-bradley-rapier/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/BY-THE-CANDLELIGHT-PICTURE-scaled-e1755031078279.jpeg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/akiane-kramarik/) [ Akiane Kramarik ](https://belovedgallery.org/akiane-kramarik/) [ ![A young man with light brown hair and a trimmed beard stands in front of a brick wall and painting, wearing a colorful, paint-splattered jacket and necklaces, looking confidently at the camera.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Art-Cultural-Sponsor-1.png) ](https://belovedgallery.org/sam-ryan/) [ Sam Ryan ](https://belovedgallery.org/sam-ryan/) [ ![Bryn Russell 2025 Fall Affair Featured Artist](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Headshot_Bryn-Russell.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/bryn-russell/) [ Bryn Russell ](https://belovedgallery.org/bryn-russell/) [ ![a dynamic author, speaker, fashion designer, and founder of LoveAbbaFather.com—a platform created to help people see themselves the way God sees them: valuable, worthy, and deeply loved.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Lindsay-Headshot-SOA-2025.png) ](https://belovedgallery.org/lindsay-morgan-snyder/) [ Lindsay Morgan Snyder ](https://belovedgallery.org/lindsay-morgan-snyder/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IMG_8525-scaled-e1755030421737.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/gala-meet-the-weigels/) [ Meet The Weigels ](https://belovedgallery.org/gala-meet-the-weigels/) [ ![ira thorne beloved gallery featured musician marble falls tx](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG_6577-scaled-e1755032813614.jpeg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/ira-thorne/) [ Ira Thorne ](https://belovedgallery.org/ira-thorne/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Untitled-1.jpeg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/amy-hooper/) [ Amy Hooper ](https://belovedgallery.org/amy-hooper/) [ ![Jo James Artists in the Round Beloved Gallery Fall Affair 2025](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jo-James-1-scaled-e1757439262909.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/jo-james/) [ Jo James ](https://belovedgallery.org/jo-james/) [ ![david duque artists in the round beloved gallery fall affair 2025](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/david-13-scaled-e1757372486589.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/david-duque/) [ David Duque ](https://belovedgallery.org/david-duque/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Abe-The-Ambassadorpromo-BW-Photo-e1757088484434.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/abe-the-ambassador/) [ Abe the Ambassador ](https://belovedgallery.org/abe-the-ambassador/) **Categories:** Fall Affair Speakers and Artists, Featured Musician --- ### [Ira Thorne](https://belovedgallery.org/ira-thorne/) **Published:** September 8, 2025 **Author:** Amber Weems **Content:** © Crystal Glaze Photography 2025 *Symphony of Art!* Featured Musician # Ira Thorne [ ![ira thorne beloved gallery featured musician marble falls tx](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG_6577-scaled-e1755032813614-1024x1024.jpeg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG_6577-scaled.jpeg) [ Spotify ](https://open.spotify.com/album/5RniOwOpYUBtEBEkfJU4yO?si=BB15mZpDSh-kf-BoJAgTVw) [ Apple ](https://music.apple.com/us/album/end-of-the-morning-ep/1808764166) [ Youtube ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-yNJXDfu4) [ Link ](https://oldsettlersmusicfest.org/ytc/) #### IRA THORNE #### Songwriter & Preformer [ Other Artists ](https://belovedgallery.org/symphony-of-art-2025/#the-line-up) [ More on Symphony of Art ](https://belovedgallery.org/symphony-of-art-2025/) ## About Ira Twelve-year-old Ira Thorne has been composing songs since before he could compose a sentence. From an early age, he was exposed to roots music—songs that draw from folk and cultural heritage genres—by his musician father, Brent Clifton. Ira naturally gravitated towards learning guitar, piano, harmonica, and, more recently, the fiddle. It is his reflective lyric writing that is most noted as being advanced beyond his age. Ira’s talent, dedication, and love for roots music are seen in his first EP, *End of the Morning,* which is available on major streaming platforms. This year, Ira won the Youth Talent Contest at Old Settler’s Music Festival, earning him both a cash award and a coveted showcase slot at next year’s festival.

She mentors, teaches, writes, paints, and facilitates spiritual creative retreats. She’s also the host of the podcast Small Beginnings with Sara.

In 2021, she wrote and illustrated her first children’s book How Good Can God Be? using her own childhood memories of God’s goodness on a Texas ranch.

I was in an uncomfortable position of not knowing what I was going to do. One night, before I went to bed, I prayed to God for something that I could do, that could be mine. I woke up the next morning, and over the next few days, I felt an intense inspiration to start drawing. I haven’t stopped since. I love drawing people. As the old saying goes, ‘The eyes are the window to the soul’ and for me, I truly believe that you can pick up on someone’s energy when you stare into their eyes. That is why my main focus as an artist is to bring out, not just the likeness, but the essence of the subject through my drawings.” ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/newsletter-divider-091523.png) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/newsletter-row-092223-1024x185.png) [ Schedule of Events ](https://belovedgallery.org/fall-affair#Symphony-of-Art) Look for more exciting announcements on the [Fall Affair](https://belovedgallery.org/fall-affair) in our upcoming newsletters and on social media.

Being an artistic family, they took their time walking through Akiane: The Early Years, pointing out different details in Akiane’s paintings and poems. Cyrus, who has been tap dancing since the age of six, very quietly worked out routines with his feet as he went from one painting to the next. **Content:** #### \#iam\_beloved ![April embracing her son Cyrus at Beloved Gallery, reflecting on faith and connection through art.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/iambeloved_family-1024x683.jpg) ## Meet April & Cryus April and her 11-year-old son, Cyrus, visited Belóved Gallery recently at the urging of a friend. Being an artistic family, they took their time walking through [*Akiane: The Early Years*](https://belovedgallery.org/exhibition/), pointing out different details in Akiane’s paintings and poems. Cyrus, who has been tap dancing since the age of six, very quietly worked out routines with his feet as he went from one painting to the next. It wasn’t until the two returned to the Prodigy Wall – a wall in the exhibition covered with childhood photos of Akiane, as well as some of her quotes from around the age of ten – that Cyrus took an extra long pause. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cyrus-1024x664.jpg) “Is this about bullying?” Cyrus pointed to one of the quotes – a question an adult had asked Akiane: “You call Jesus the ‘Prince of Peace’ yet in His name, so many people were massacred. How do you explain that?” ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cyrus-gazing.jpg)Cyrus read through Akiane’s answer: “Jesus is peace, just like calm water. But anyone can drop a stone into water and make it muddy.” After a few minutes of contemplation, he spoke up again, “I think I understand. People cause pain like muddy water but the Holy Spirit is like water that can cleanse everyone.” Later, Cyrus shared more about how Akiane’s answer to the difficult question impacted him. “It made me think of when Jesus started flipping tables because people were making his church into a store. The point isn’t that Jesus’s pool becomes muddy, our pool does. I know people who have had bad things happen, but they never get clean.” “We both felt like Akiane’s answers on the Prodigy Wall were deep.” April went on to explain that as a creative writer, she felt especially drawn to Akiane’s words and poems. “Her quotes helped me understand her process. She could paint it, but she could also say it. I could almost see her writing things in a notebook as a child…like her poem, ‘A Conversation with God,’ or her thoughts about the many questions she was asked. It was very meaningful.” ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/april-cyrus-standing-1024x664.jpg) April and Cyrus aren’t the only guests who have been drawn to Akiane’s writing. Others will write her words down or sit and contemplate what she is saying in her deep musings or thoughtful poetry. Akiane was declared a binary child prodigy by experts, meaning she was a prodigy in two unique categories: realistic art and poetry. The combination of words and visuals is part of what makes Akiane’s childhood work uniquely powerful. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/april-cyrus-sitting-300x188.jpg)Before leaving the gallery, April and Cyrus visited the Prince of Peace Sanctuary again. “It gave me a feeling of being in heaven,” Cyrus said about Akiane’s portrait of Jesus. Both marveled over the fact that Akiane had never read a bible or gone to church when she painted Prince of Peace. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/april.jpg) “When I was her age, I had already seen so many pictures of Jesus,” April shared. “But Akiane humanizes Him. Up close, you can see every little hair follicle and the texture of his skin. Even his Jewishness rings out in the painting. The fact that she was able to capture so many layers at once makes me think God was truly present with her and this was supernatural.” ##### More #iam\_beloved **SUPPORT OUR MISSION** **Invite 50** Continue to partner with Belóved Gallery by telling 50 of your friends and family about your experience!

Her daily studio practice developed in 2016 after struggling with anxiety as a young mother. It was a deeply personal time and space where her spiritual journey and creative process merged. She mostly painted celestial night-scenes in oil during this time. Soon after, Gibert began live painting in the midst of corporate gatherings and working more with acrylics on a larger scale. Her emphasis was in creating various series of works focused on spiritual themes observed in nature and the human experience. Gilbert’s last few series have been mixed media abstract florals. For her, there is something intrinsically linked between the flower and the human heart. Gilbert is most passionate about facilitating connections between The Creator and His children. Whether it’s through her paintings, books, or classes, her hope is that in choosing to share her own authentic journey as a human being – questioning, seeking, and peering into the mystery of life – that others will be encouraged in their own journeys. Gilbert lives in Greenville, SC, with her husband and two children and just released her book, *[We are the Makers: Partnering with God & Releasing Heaven on Earth](https://www.genavievegilbert.com/gift-shop/we-are-the-makers-partnering-with-god-releasing-heaven-on-earth)*. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/newsletter-divider-091523.png) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/joao-paul-1024x683.jpg) ##### JOÃO PAULO GONÇALVES [ Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/jpgoncalvesart/) After studying art and architecture in college and a long-standing career as a residential faux finish painter, João Paulo Gonçalves felt a strong desire to explore his creativity in the area of fine arts. In 2015, he developed an original technique that allowed him to depict detailed portraits through shadows. Soon after, he debuted his technique through a collection of portraits in Grand Rapids at Artprize, one of the largest international art competitions in the world, and received the highest prize in his category. It wasn’t until 2021 that Gonçalves finally was able to use his innovative technique to work on a project close to his heart. He worked for several months as an art teacher at Holston Methodist Home for Children, a residential foster care facility. There, he developed another award-winning project with the partnership of his students and friends from the community – a series of portraits highlighting young people aging out of the foster care system and the challenges they face. He is currently developing a project to bring awareness and protect youth from the risk of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Gonçalves currently resides in Fort Worth with his family. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/newsletter-divider-091523.png) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/newsletter-row-092223-1024x185.png) [ Schedule of Events ](https://belovedgallery.org/fall-affair#Symphony-of-Art) Look for more exciting announcements on the [Fall Affair](https://belovedgallery.org/fall-affair) in our upcoming newsletters and on social media.

Gleaser believes that the intersection of the three shows a constant effort to understand God and the human beings He created. God communicates love, forgiveness and identity through the Bible. Humans communicate through art gratitude, anger, fear, joy, and angst in response to God’s words. As we explore art, we realize our own efforts to define ourselves and God. Gene has been a husband for 44 years to his wife Kaye, with whom he has two children and five grandchildren. He also successfully pastored several congregations, led international and national software sales teams, and worked with many non-profit organizations. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/newsletter-divider-091523.png) ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/newsletter-row-092223-1024x185.png) [ Schedule of Events ](https://belovedgallery.org/fall-affair#Symphony-of-Art) Look for more exciting announcements on the [Fall Affair](https://belovedgallery.org/fall-affair) in our upcoming newsletters and on social media.

They chose Marble Falls, Texas, as the site for Belóved Gallery. ##### Thus, the Belóved brand was born.

From the Akiane Film to global exhibitions and meaningful partnerships, we share faith through the transformative power of art. **Content:** # Belóved Studios ## How We Began From the moment our doors opened, we witnessed something we couldn’t contain within gallery walls. Since then, Belóved Gallery has watched the impact of art on faith unfold guest after guest—story after story, in ways that don’t happen in everyday spaces. This momentum revealed the need for a dedicated expression of the mission, sharing faith through art, one capable of translating art and testimony into long-form cinematic storytelling. In response, Belóved Studios was launched in 2025, founded to create transformative cinematic and cutting-edge digital media so people of all backgrounds can experience belovedness: the conviction that all are known and loved by the Creator. Belóved Studios produces cinematic-quality videos documenting extraordinary artists and their work, as well as the profound stories of how art impacts culture, people, and faith. Our content has received tremendous public response and confirmed the power of film to carry Belóved’s vision beyond the gallery space. ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/AKIANE-Film-BTS-1024x1024.png) ## What We Do Through film, digital media, and creative collaboration, Belóved Studios extends the mission of sharing faith through art beyond the gallery space—creating experiences that deepen faith and draw people closer to Jesus. ### Film & Storytelling Belóved Studios produces cinematic stories that share the lives and work of extraordinary artists, along with the profound experiences of Belóved Gallery guests.

Her family had recently moved to a brand new home, and she was feeling grief from the loss of the extended family and friends they had left behind. At times, she would wake up crying at night. Her parents prayed for God to heal Hadarah’s heart. One night, Hadarah woke crying, and her mother rushed into the room to comfort her, thinking she was still struggling with her grief. But this time, Hadarah was crying for a different reason. “I was in Heaven, and it felt like 100 years,” she told her mother. “I want to go back to Heaven right now. I want to fall asleep again so I can see Jesus.” Now five years old, Hadarah shares about her incredible journey to Heaven, where an unexpected encounter with her older sister revealed the miraculous nature of her visit. ### Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist​ *Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist* is a 20-minute short film produced by Belóved Studios. Made exclusively with Akiane and her family, the film follows Akiane’s journey through poverty, childhood fame, and tragic loss, culminating in her becoming the master fine artist she is today. The miraculous story is told through a mix of Akiane’s childhood home videos, footage of Akiane painting and sculpting in her studio, nature scenes, animation, and in-depth interviews with the master fine artist and her family. *Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist* is for all ages and can only be viewed in Belóved Gallery exhibitions.

Now, *Prince of Peace*, considered one of the most recognized faces of Jesus across the world, hangs on the wall in Belóved Gallery after nearly two decades of being hidden away. The extraordinary story of the painting’s creation, disappearance, and miraculous recovery is the heartbeat of Belóved Gallery’s premier exhibition, *Akiane: The Early Years*. *Akiane: The Early Years*, the only public exhibition of Akiane’s work in the world, is a remarkable collection spotlighting fourteen of Akiane’s original childhood paintings. At the pinnacle of the exhibition is the *Prince of Peace* painting, available for in-person viewings for the first time since its creation. Among the collection are works such as *Dreams* and *The Missing Years*, also reimagined from Akiane’s visions of heaven, and *Turquoise Eyes*, Akiane’s eleven-year-old self-portrait. Each painting includes accompanying poetry and deep reflections written by Akiane. The Lost & Found Timeline details the story of the *Prince of Peace* and includes Akiane’s childhood photographs. [*Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist*](#akiane_portrait), the exclusive short film that plays in Belóved Gallery’s media room, follows Akiane’s journey through poverty, childhood fame, and tragic loss to becoming the master fine artist she is today. Belóved Gallery seeks to amplify Akiane’s message of unwavering faith, unconditional love, and eternal life through this unique exhibition, opening a doorway of hope for all who hear her story. ## Lost & Found ##### Have you heard the story? ## About the Artist ### Akiane Kramarik ## [*akiane.com*](https://akiane.com​?ref=beloved-gallery) Internationally recognized Master Fine Artist, poet, best-selling author, philanthropist, filmmaker, entrepreneur, visionary, and art ambassador, [Akiane Kramarik](https://akiane.com/about-akiane/) 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. Her portraits of Jesus remain the most recognized face of Jesus across the world today. Kramarik’s creations have been exhibited in art galleries, museums, embassies, and private institutions, as well as collected by world leaders, CEO’s and celebrities. She has traveled to over 33 countries, lived in eight states, seven countries, and on four continents. Akiane’s practice has diversified across a myriad of genres, styles, and mediums – ranging from hyperreal large-scale acrylic or oil compositions to more fluid, almost abstract works that include glass and gold. Drawing inspiration from her travels, meditations, dreams, visions, and serendipitous encounters, her mission is to make the invisible accessible through poetic visual language. She spreads messages of peace and hope through creating art that has an authentic healing energy. Akiane imbues her works with intricate and multifaceted symbolism. Landscapes, portraits, and stories are transcendent metaphors purposefully left unrestricted by any space or time. ![Akiane Kramarik standing against a white background, known for her Prince of Peace painting and spiritual art.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/akiane-kramarik​-painting-683x1024.jpg) ![Akiane Kramarik sitting and painting at an easel, who create art pieces for her faith-based art collection.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/63e689fed97653bb96a10817_AkianePaintingWatermark.jpeg) Akiane considers herself an explorer and a steadfast interpreter of diverse epochs, cultures, faiths, and worlds. It is common to find a number of her originals displaying superimposed messages, hidden stories, encrypted codes, and quantum holograms especially in soulscapes – mystic landscapes of the soul and visionary interpretations of the soul’s journey through life. Above all, the artist attributes her talent and success to her solid family support, home education, diligent work ethics, perseverance, and unique cultural and spiritual influences. ## Our Collection [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TurquoiseEyes-1-300x253.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-turquoise-eyes-2/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TheRelic-1-300x298.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-the-relic/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PlantedEyes-1-226x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-painted-eyes/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PrinceOfPeace-237x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/prince-of-peace/) [ ![Painting of a young child gazing at the universe, titled 'The Journey' by Akiane Kramarik.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TheHourney-242x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-the-journey/) [ ![Painting of a young ballerina tying her pointe shoes, titled 'This Is My Life' by Akiane Kramarik.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ThisIsMyLife-300x296.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-this-is-my-life/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Courage-1-300x231.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-courage/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Dreams-1-300x240.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/dreams/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/FatherForgiveThem-1-242x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/father-forgive-them/) [ ![Infinite Perspective](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/InfinitePerspective-1-300x207.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-infinite-perspective/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Penguin-1-300x161.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-penguin/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Silence-1-300x228.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-silence/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Symphony-1-300x227.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-symphony/) [ ![Jesus The Missing Years](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/JesusTheMissingYears-1-300x245.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/jesus-the-missing-years/) ## Akiane in the News ## Playlist 8 Videos #### Trapped in a Mirror 22:12 #### How Jesus Saved His Own Portrait 7:19 #### Nobody Was Supposed to See This Painting 13:21 #### Akiane - The Oprah Show (2003) 3:42 #### Akiane on The Katie Couric Show 5:17 #### Painting the Impossible by Akiane Kramarik 24:57 #### Oprah Winfrey Network - Where is the Child Prodigy Today 3:20 #### "The Messenger" by Akiane 8:45 ## Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist​ *Akiane: A Portrait of the Artist* is the 20-minute short film that plays as part of Belóved Gallery’s exhibition, *Akiane: The Early Years*.

Ahora, la obra de arte Príncipe paz, considerado uno de los rostros de Jesús más reconocidos del mundo, cuelga de la pared de la Galería Belóved después de haber permanecido oculto durante casi dos décadas. La extraordinaria historia de la creación, desaparición y milagrosa recuperación del cuadro es el eje central de la exposición principal de la Galería Belóved, *Akiane: Los primeros años*. *Akiane: Los primeros años*, la única exposición pública de la obra de Akiane en todo el mundo, es una colección extraordinaria que destaca catorce de las pinturas originales que Akiane realizó en su infancia. Lo más destacado de la exposición es el cuadro *Príncipe de paz*, que por primera vez desde su creación puede verse en persona. En la colección se incluyen obras como *Sueños y Los años perdidos*, también inspiradas en las visiones del cielo de Akiane. Además de *Ojos turquesa*, el autorretrato de Akiane realizado cuando tenía once años. Cada cuadro va acompañado de poemas y profundas reflexiones escritas por la propia Akiane. La línea temporal de Perdidos y encontrados narra la historia del Príncipe de paz e incluye fotografías de la infancia de Akiane. [*Akiane: Un retrato de la artista*](#akiane_portrait), el cortometraje exclusivo que se proyecta en la sala multimedia de la Galería Belóved, recorre el camino de Akiane a través de la pobreza, la fama infantil y una pérdida trágica hasta convertirse en la maestra de las bellas artes que es hoy. La Galería Belóved tiene la misión de amplificar el mensaje de Akiane sobre la fe inquebrantable, el amor incondicional y la vida eterna a través de esta exposición única, abriendo una puerta de esperanza para todos los que escuchen su historia. ## Perdidos y encontrados ##### ¿Ha escuchado la historia? ## Acerca de la artista ### Akiane Kramarik ## [*akiane.com*](https://akiane.com​?ref=beloved-gallery) [Akiane Kramarik](https://akiane.com/about-akiane/), maestra en Bellas Artes reconocida internacionalmente, poeta, autora de éxitos de ventas, filántropa, cineasta, emprendedora, visionaria y embajadora del arte, es considerada una de las artistas vivas más consumadas y versátiles del mundo. Como niña prodigio es considerada por muchos expertos en arte la joven más brillante tanto en el arte realista como en la poesía. Sus retratos de Jesús siguen siendo los más reconocidos en todo el mundo hoy en día. Las obras de Kramarik han sido expuestas en galerías de arte, museos, embajadas e instituciones privadas, y forman parte de las colecciones de líderes mundiales, directores ejecutivos y famosos. Ha viajado a más de 33 países, vivido en ocho estados, siete países y cuatro continentes. La obra de Akiane se ha diversificado a través de una gran variedad de géneros, estilos y técnicas, desde composiciones hiperrealistas a gran escala en acrílico u óleo hasta obras más fluidas, casi abstractas, que incluyen vidrio y oro. Inspirándose en sus viajes, meditaciones, sueños, visiones y encuentros fortuitos, su misión es hacer accesible lo invisible a través de un lenguaje visual poético. Difunde mensajes de paz y esperanza creando arte que tiene una auténtica energía sanadora. Akiane impregna sus obras de un simbolismo intrincado y multifacético. Los paisajes, los retratos y las historias son metáforas trascendentales que, a propósito, no se ven limitadas por ningún espacio ni tiempo. ![Akiane Kramarik standing against a white background, known for her Prince of Peace painting and spiritual art.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/akiane-kramarik​-painting-683x1024.jpg) ![Akiane Kramarik sitting and painting at an easel, who create art pieces for her faith-based art collection.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/63e689fed97653bb96a10817_AkianePaintingWatermark.jpeg) Akiane se considera una exploradora y una intérprete incansable de diversas épocas, culturas, creencias y mundos. En muchas de sus obras originales es usual encontrar mensajes superpuestos, historias ocultas, códigos encriptados y hologramas cuánticos, sobre todo en los «paisajes del alma»: paisajes místicos del alma e interpretaciones visionarias del viaje del alma a lo largo de la vida. Por encima de todo, la artista atribuye su talento y su éxito al firme apoyo de su familia, a la educación recibida en casa, a su ética de trabajo diligente, a su perseverancia y a influencias culturales y espirituales únicas. ## Nuestra colección [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TurquoiseEyes-1-300x253.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-turquoise-eyes-2/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TheRelic-1-300x298.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-the-relic/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PlantedEyes-1-226x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-painted-eyes/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PrinceOfPeace-237x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/prince-of-peace/) [ ![Painting of a young child gazing at the universe, titled 'The Journey' by Akiane Kramarik.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TheHourney-242x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-the-journey/) [ ![Painting of a young ballerina tying her pointe shoes, titled 'This Is My Life' by Akiane Kramarik.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ThisIsMyLife-300x296.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-this-is-my-life/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Courage-1-300x231.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-courage/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Dreams-1-300x240.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/dreams/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/FatherForgiveThem-1-242x300.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/father-forgive-them/) [ ![Infinite Perspective](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/InfinitePerspective-1-300x207.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-infinite-perspective/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Penguin-1-300x161.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-penguin/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Silence-1-300x228.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-silence/) [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Symphony-1-300x227.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/collections-symphony/) [ ![Jesus The Missing Years](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/JesusTheMissingYears-1-300x245.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/jesus-the-missing-years/) ## Akiane en las noticias ## Playlist 8 Videos #### Trapped in a Mirror 22:12 #### How Jesus Saved His Own Portrait 7:19 #### Nobody Was Supposed to See This Painting 13:21 #### Akiane - The Oprah Show (2003) 3:42 #### Akiane on The Katie Couric Show 5:17 #### Painting the Impossible by Akiane Kramarik 24:57 #### Oprah Winfrey Network - Where is the Child Prodigy Today 3:20 #### "The Messenger" by Akiane 8:45 ## Akiane: Un retrato de la artista Cuando Akiane Kramarik, de ocho años, pintó el rostro de Jesús basándose en visiones celestiales recurrentes, nunca imaginó que la pintura se convertiría en una obra maestra de renombre mundial ni que, más tarde, sería robada.

Su extraordinaria trayectoria, desde su creación hasta su desaparición y posterior recuperación, constituye el eje central de la exposición inaugural de la galería llamada Akiane: Los primeros años, la única muestra pública de la obra de Akiane en todo el mundo. La colección reúne catorce de sus pinturas originales de la infancia entre las que se incluyen Sueños, Jesús: Los años perdidos y Turquoise Eyes (Ojos turquesa), así como el autorretrato que realizó a los once años; cada una de estas obras va acompañada de poemas y reflexiones de la propia Akiane. ## Otras obras de arte de Akiane [ ![Renaissance-style portrait of a young woman in green, created by Akiane Kramarik during her early years.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Paintings-for-website-1500x1500-.zip-2.jpg) ](https://akiane.com/product/lillies-of-the-valley/) [ ![A sailing ship in a stormy sea, painted by Akiane Kramarik as part of her early artistic journey.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Paintings-for-website-1500x1500-.zip-1.jpg) ](https://akiane.com/product/divine-compass/) [ ![Cosmic nebula painting by Akiane Kramarik, part of her early collection reflecting spiritual themes.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Paintings-for-website-1500x1500-.zip-3.jpg) ](https://akiane.com/product/triumph/) [ ![Akiane Kramarik’s Water Lily painting featuring glowing lotus blossoms and luminous energy arcs in a surreal, spiritual setting.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Water-Lily-.png) ](https://akiane.com/) [ Obras originales disponibles ](https://akiane.com/available-originals/) [ Comprar en la galería de Akiane ](https://akiane.com/shop/) --- ### [Akiane: The Early Years Exhibition - Marble Falls, TX](https://belovedgallery.org/marble-falls/) **Published:** September 4, 2026 **Author:** Alaina Wood **Excerpt:** Discover the extraordinary journey of Akiane Kramarik, a child prodigy whose painting, *Prince of Peace*, has captivated hearts worldwide.

We believe this is one of those moments. Across Brazil and throughout Latin America, a new chapter is unfolding—one that recognizes the extraordinary role creativity can play in revealing truth, awakening wonder, restoring hope, and making the unseen visible.

Its mission is simple: for people to experience faith through art. What began with Akiane Kramarik’s world-renowned painting *Prince of Peace* has grown into thoughtfully curated exhibitions, films, immersive experiences, artist gatherings, and creative collaborations designed to inspire reflection, response, and connection. In 2025, Belóved carried that mission to Seoul, South Korea, welcoming thousands through an international exhibition centered on Akiane’s art and extraordinary story. Now, that journey continues in São Paulo. [ DISCOVER BELÓVED ](#discover-beloved) #### It All Began With Relationships ## THE ARTIST COLLECTIVE For years, Belóved Gallery’s annual *Fall Affair: A Celebration of Faith Through Art* has brought together artists, storytellers, musicians, dancers, choreographers, filmmakers, collectors, pastors, cultural leaders, and many others from across the creative and cultural landscape. Then the remarkable happened. The conversations continued. Friendships deepened. Artists encouraged one another. Creative collaborations emerged. Pastors and creatives discovered new ways to serve together. Our gatherings were only the beginning. Over time, those relationships became the foundation of our Belóved Artist Collective. Today, the Collective is a growing global community of artists committed to creative excellence, spiritual growth, serving the body of Christ, and shaping culture through truth, beauty, and hope. This November, *Created in Love* marks the next chapter as we welcome artists and cultural leaders from across Latin America into this growing community.

Nós acreditamos que este é um destes momentos. Pelo Brasil e por toda a América Latina, artistas, entusiastas da arte, pastores, líderes culturais, vozes da mídia e influenciadores estão reconhecendo o papel essencial que a criatividade exerce ao revelar cultura, despertar o senso de maravilha, restaurar a esperança e trazer pessoas em direção a Deus. Criado em Amor é um convite para nos reunirmos em prol desta visão compartilhada. No mês de novembro, uma comunidade exclusiva de líderes e criativos se reunirá em São Paulo para celebrar o que Deus já está fazendo ao redor da América Latina e explorar como a criatividade revela beleza que serve como uma ponte entre culturas, gerações, igrejas e comunidades. No coração deste encontro, está uma simples convicção: Criatividade é uma das linguagens mais poderosas de Deus. Arte revela o que palavras não podem por si só. Através da beleza, os corações são abertos, a esperança é restaurada e as pessoas encontram o Criador. ![People in a gallery closely observe paintings and photographs displayed on white walls, with warm lighting illuminating the artwork.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/CHU06528-scaled.jpg "CHU06528") Ele o encheu do Espírito de Deus, em sabedoria e entendimento, em conhecimento e pleno conhecimento artístico…e fez seus corações aptos a ensinar. **Êxodo** 35:31-34 ![A woman with long brown hair, wearing a red top, sits on the floor facing a large framed portrait of a bearded man hanging on a gallery wall.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/PrinceofPeaceMoment.jpg "PrinceofPeaceMoment") #### Do Texas para São Paulo ### SOBRE A BELÓVED Fundada em Marble Falls, no Texas, a Belóved Gallery foi criada a partir da visão de compartilhar obras de arte extraordinárias e as histórias por trás delas com pessoas de todas origens. Sua missão é simples: que pessoas vivenciem a fé através da arte. O que começou com a pintura *Príncipe da Paz*, obra de Akiane Kramarik, reconhecida mundialmente, evoluiu exposições cuidadosamente curadas, filmes, experiências imersivas, encontros artísticos e colaborações criativas, concebidos para inspirar a reflexão, o diálogo e a conexão. Em 2025, a Belóved levou essa missão a Seul, na Coreia do Sul, reunindo milhares de pessoas em uma exposição internacional dedicada à extraordinária arte e à história de Akiane. Agora, a jornada continua em São Paulo. [ DESCUBRA A BELÓVED ](#discover-beloved) #### Tudo Começou Com Relacionamentos ## O COLETIVO ARTÍSTICO Por muitos anos, a Belóved Gallery reuniu artistas, contadores de histórias, músicos, dançarinos, coreógrafos, cineastas, colecionadores, pastores e líderes culturais através da Fall Affair (Encontro de outono): *Uma Celebração da Fé Através da Arte*. O que começou como encontros anuais se tornou mais do que poderíamos imaginar. Amizades se aprofundaram. Colaborações criativas surgiram. Artistas encorajaram uns aos outros. Pastores e criativos descobriram novas formas de servir juntos. A comunidade começou a crescer. O Coletivo Artístico Belóved não foi concebido como um programa—ele surgiu naturalmente de anos de relacionamentos. Hoje, é uma comunidade em crescimento, com artistas comprometidos com a excelência criativa, o encorajamento espiritual, o serviço ao Corpo de Cristo e o moldar da cultura através da verdade, beleza e esperança. No mês de Novembro, *Criados em Amor*, marca o próximo capítulo do Coletivo enquanto dá as boas-vindas a artistas e líderes culturais de toda a América Latina nesta comunidade em crescimento. ![A man with blond hair and a short beard stands in front of a painting and a beige brick wall, wearing a paint-splattered jacket and a necklace, looking directly at the camera.](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/SamRyan01.png) ## SAM RYAN Artista, contador de histórias culturais e influencer.

Neste mês de novembro, em São Paulo, *Created in Love (Criados em Amor)* começa a explorar esta questão através da arte, da criatividade, do diálogo e da comunidade. [ FAÇA PARTE DO MOVIMENTO ](#join-the-movement) [ RECEBA ATUALIZAÇÕES ](#get-updates) ## A JORNADA #### 17 de Novembro | 18h30 – 21h30 ## CRIADOS EM AMOR ## O Círculo Inaugural O Círculo Inaugural celebra a apresentação do Coletivo Artístico Belóved para a América Latina, reunindo artistas, entusiastas da arte, pastores, líderes ministeriais, vozes da mídia, influenciadores, colecionadores e pioneiros culturais que compartilham uma paixão pela fé e pela criatividade.

AKIANE A Journey of Faith Through Art SARANG CHURCH, SEOUL 11.2. 2025 – 3.1. 2026 [ 자세히 알아보기 ](https://belovedgallery.org/seoul-kr/) [ PRESS & MEDIA ](https://belovedgallery.org/seoul/#press) [ VIRTUAL TOUR ](https://belovedgallery.org/seoul/#virtual-tour) ## Virtual Tour #### Seoul, South Korea ### *Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art* **Exhibition Dates:** November 2, 2025 — March 1, 2026 The Seoul exhibition marked Belóved Gallery’s first international presentation of *Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art*, hosted at SaRang Church in Gangnam. This virtual walkthrough offers a look inside the exhibition space, featuring 20 hand-embellished giclées by Akiane and the immersive environment, allowing guests to explore the journey from anywhere. ## From Child Prodigy to Master Fine Artist ***Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art*** is an immersive exhibition that invites guests into the miraculous story of Akiane Kramarik, a world-renowned master fine artist whose painting of Jesus changed the world. With the founding purpose of honoring God, the exhibition opens by sharing the mission of Belóved Gallery, introducing the miraculous story of Akiane’s art and message of unwavering faith, unconditional love, and eternal life. Guests are drawn into Akiane’s current story and most recent artistic expressions, before journeying to learn about her astounding early life as a child prodigy. Through rare media appearances and moments of early global recognition, guests explore how a young girl, raised in a non-religious household, was transformed by Divine visions that ultimately changed her entire family’s faith. The exhibition’s centerpiece is a powerful, immersive media experience in which Akiane’s paintings are digitally transformed to bring her heavenly visions to life. This leads guests into a reverent space housing luminous hand-embellished giclée canvases of her masterpieces of Jesus — including *Prince of Peace*, *Jesus: The Missing Years*, *Dreams*, *Father Forgive Them*, and *Jesus* — each elevated by the artist’s own hand to capture the depth, radiance, and brushstroke detail of the originals. To conclude, guests are invited to share their experience and enter a sacred space for reflection and prayer beneath a soaring four-story LED screen showcasing Akiane’s art in large-scale digital format. This final moment allows each visitor to respond in their own way to the presence of God through art. # Seoul Exhibition Highlights The Seoul exhibition marked Belóved Gallery’s first international presentation of *Akiane: A Journey of Faith Through Art.* These highlights reflect a gathering shaped by reverence, presence, and shared encounter through art—moments that continue to guide how Belóved stewards exhibitions across the world.

Her family had recently moved to a brand new home, and she was feeling grief from the loss of the extended family and friends they had left behind. At times, she would wake up crying at night. Her parents prayed for God to heal Hadarah’s heart. One night, Hadarah woke crying, and her mother rushed into the room to comfort her, thinking she was still struggling with her grief. But this time, Hadarah was crying for a different reason. “I was in Heaven, and it felt like 100 years,” she told her mother. “I want to go back to Heaven right now. I want to fall asleep again so I can see Jesus.” Now five years old, Hadarah shares about her incredible journey to Heaven, where an unexpected encounter with her older sister revealed the miraculous nature of her visit. #### Special Thanks ##### Contributor ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Akiane-Gallery-W_logo-1024x579.png) ##### Host ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/SaRang-Church-LOGO.png) ##### Exhibition Designer & Film Creator ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Journey_Logo_Solid_BLACK-1024x199.png) ##### Special Contributors Maria Kim Ki Soon Ahn ##### Partner ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/WEA-Logo-New.png) ##### Fabricator & Installer ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/WEX-CI.png) ## Subscribe for Updates Be the first to know about our latest exhibitions and events.

Paul calls us to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, and Jesus is the perfect example. He, the perfect Savior of the world, not only made himself human for us, but he died a criminal’s death for us. He calls us to be set apart from this world, and with Him, we can be transformed. Looking at this image, I am reminded to live a life of worship as Paul says. This drawing doesn’t just represent what Jesus did; it challenges me to live differently and offer myself as a living sacrifice so I can truly and properly worship God.

This piece represents a living sacrifice. I used a tree to symbolize the holy Trinity, with the trunk representing the Father. The green leaves represent the life we received through Jesus Christ, and the beautiful light all around is the Holy Spirit. The girl is me stepping out of darkness into the light and being welcomed by the Trinity; she is sacrificing herself to be glorious through God. The colorful dress represents the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness, which are offered from the heart in becoming a living sacrifice. Third Place [ ![Olivia Dooley_Faith Academy Art Comp 2025](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/Olivia-Dooley_Faith-Academy-Art-Comp-2025-rgyyx2af0ed1p6lv053micf4q1hkzqo2a0t6u5c362.jpg "Olivia Dooley_Faith Academy Art Comp 2025") ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Olivia-Dooley_Faith-Academy-Art-Comp-2025.jpg) #### Sophomore #### OLIVIA My sketch is a graphite portrait of Saint Mother Teresa holding an orphaned baby. This sketch captures the quiet strength in Mother Teresa’s wrinkled face and her gentle eyes. Mother Teresa embodied this verse like few others. She offered herself as a living sacrifice, serving the poorest of the poor in the streets of Calcutta, India. She saw the face of Jesus in each and every suffering soul. She refused to conform to a world that often ignores the poor and powerless, instead allowing her mind and heart to be transformed by God’s mercy. In this sketch, not only do we see a woman holding an orphaned child, but a testament to transformation. Mother Teresa is an amazing example and reminder that true worship is lived out in acts of selfless love Finalist [ ![Emerson Price_Faith Academy Art Comp 2025](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/Emerson-Price_Faith-Academy-Art-Comp-2025-rgyyzs1mr62v8mnv5bctpnr2i43r89g5bgnoqxb3gg.jpg "Emerson Price_Faith Academy Art Comp 2025") ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Emerson-Price_Faith-Academy-Art-Comp-2025.jpg) #### Sophomore #### EMMERSON Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice for us was his crucifixion on the cross. However, Jesus is also a constant living sacrifice in our day-to-day lives. In my drawing, an innocent little boy is praying. Behind him, Jesus is blocking a metaphorical storm of bad things from hitting the child. Jesus is portrayed as a shield, sacrificing himself to the storm, all to protect one child. I wanted to express how we can be protected from evil and darkness through the power of prayer, and that with Jesus’ sacrifice for us, we should never feel afraid or unloved. Finalist [ ![Myla Belton_Faith Academy Art Comp 2025](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/Myla-Belton_Faith-Academy-Art-Comp-2025-rgyz34cz1ynkipt3mrd2kte2jfmqlipsg05u6ccrak.jpg "Myla Belton_Faith Academy Art Comp 2025") ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Myla-Belton_Faith-Academy-Art-Comp-2025.jpg) #### Freshman #### Myla I did this painting because I was inspired by the verse Romans 12: 1 “*Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”* I wanted my painting to convey how serving others can make a big difference.

The eye is deeply moved by the understanding that all the life he has been following the wrong path, and now, he is repenting. The man’s eye looks down at the place where Jesus was crucified, represented by the three crosses.

The act of one candle igniting another symbolizes being a light for others and offering them encouragement, comfort, and hope. By helping others, we embody the idea of a living sacrifice, willingly pouring out our time, energy, and love for someone else’s well-being. In the past year, there have been several times when someone I love dearly in my life has gone through difficult times and struggled with their self-worth. In those moments, I felt it was my calling to make them feel loved and seen for who they are, and to be the light they needed in their lives. When we show up for others with genuine compassion, God rejoices in the kindness that we share. The dove, which represents peace, love, hope, and purity, embodies God’s presence and gratitude, rising from the very flame of sacrifice that ignites light in another’s life.

It encourages individuals to trust in something greater than themselves.

That is not always easy to do. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming and like we are all alone. This piece shows Jesus reaching out to a man who feels he is drowning in the cares of this world. But Jesus never leaves us alone. He always offers himself to us. We just need to take his hand.

Together, the sunset and shoreline suggest the peace found in trusting something greater than ourselves. ## Realities of Heaven ##### 2025 Showcase *Colossians 3:1 (NLT): *Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.* First Place [ ![Faith Academy Art Contest 1st Place](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/Faith-Academy-Art-2025_1-r164llza7yib3cztth6fvlth9sc31ljiciiunhyu7g.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Faith-Academy-Art-2025_1.jpg) #### Freshman #### Elizabeth Being born into a Christian family, I’ve grown up knowing that Christ died on the cross for our sins. I was raised in the comfort of knowing that when I die, I can be with my savior for eternity. However, it can be easy to overlook the suffering Jesus went through to show His love for us. So, I thought my artwork should display this as a reminder. Second Place [ ![](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/Faith-Academy-Art-2025_3-r164losssgm626vqd0ebl33v1xy6ooupcwhb3buld6.jpg) ](https://belovedgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Faith-Academy-Art-2025_3.jpg) #### Freshman #### OLIVIA My art piece is a graphite sketch of a baby grasping Jesus’ scarred and outstretched hand. Colossians 3:1 says, “Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.” My sketch has a dual meaning that was inspired by this verse. The first represents our “new birth” when we are born again and raised into a new life when we make the decision to take Jesus’ hand and follow Him. The second meaning my sketch was inspired by, is my aunt’s rainbow baby. I hope that this image can offer hope to others who have suffered the loss of a child by reminding them that their baby is safe in Jesus’ arms until they are reunited for eternity. We must set our sights on the realities of heaven and remember that this life is just a tiny fraction of what is to come. The losses we suffer here are temporary. With Christ, nothing is ever truly lost.

The verse highlights being raised with Christ, and from my own experiences, I am a living testimony to His promises. Christ has raised me, ever since I was a little girl. He was so close I could touch Him. My art portrays God’s closeness in our lives, from the very beginning to the end; He remains.

The figure trapped in the hole symbolizes feelings of helplessness and isolation, while God’s hand reaching down signifies guidance, support, and the possibility of salvation. This piece reflects the belief that no matter how deep our struggles, help is always within reach.

I envisioned a beautiful path through a jungle with a large lake in the background. On this lake, I pictured a staircase made of supernatural light going up into the clouds.

The girl wrapped in Jesus’ arms is shown to feel protected, no scared of the outside world. This artwork captures the connection between our loving Father and having childlike faith, invoking a sense of security and love.

She just wants to feel loved, comforted, and safe. She reaches up to the heavens as God reaches back down to her. It’s a very peaceful moment where she is experiencing her father reach out to her letting her know she is ok. I was inspired to paint this specifically because a lot of teens deal with anxiety and pressure. When the girl reaches out her hands for God she starts to feel his presence begin to surround her allowing her to have peace and happiness. I tried to express this feeling of peace in my painting with the light beams coming from the connection of their hands, symbolizing that even in the midst of your darkness, God will reach out for you and surround you with light.

The painting shows a radiant Jesus raising Christians above the earth as a symbol of him raising us above the issues and situations that we often struggle with as human beings. It is a constant reminder that when things get tough, we can always rely on God to raise us up.

She stands out just like Jesus wants us to stand out in a crowd full of sinners. What inspired me to draw this was knowing that we are all made perfect in the eye of the Father. --- ### [Year in Review 2025](https://belovedgallery.org/year-in-review-2025/) **Published:** January 21, 2026 **Author:** Alaina Wood **Excerpt:** The Vision Ahead: Art in Motion.

What began as a simple act of obedience—to glorify Jesus through art and story—has unfolded far beyond what we could have imagined, marked by His grace and the lives touched along the way. Belóved Gallery reached a significant milestone, welcoming more than 40,000 guests from over 70 countries to experience *Akiane: The Early Years* in Marble Falls, Texas, since opening in February 2023. Our mission also expanded internationally with the launch of a new immersive exhibition, *Akiane*: *A* *Journey* *of* *Faith* *Through* *Art*, in Seoul, South Korea—affirming the power of art to speak across cultures and generations. Over 600 guests gathered for our 3rd Annual Fall Affair, themed *Commissioned: Sharing Faith Through Art*. Through art, worship, and conversation, we explored how creativity reflects the heart of God and how our stories can become living testimonies pointing others toward their Creator. This year also marked the formation of Belóved Studios®, expanding our calling to share stories of faith through film and digital media. As our ministry grows, we remain committed to stewarding every opportunity with excellence and reverence for the work God is doing through this mission. Explore highlights and firsthand stories that reveal how God continues to work through Belóved to inspire faith and transformation. Above all, we thank you—our faithful friends and supporters—who make this mission possible. With love and gratitude, Donna Wilcox Chief Executive Officer ## Sharing Faith Through Art ##### with Akiane Kramarik ## Why We Exist ### Mission We amplify the work and stories of extraordinary artists to invite people of all backgrounds to experience faith through art. We believe that powerful creative expression inspires faith, and that faith reveals belovedness—the truth that every person is fully known and deeply loved by the Creator. ### Vision Our vision is to thoughtfully curate and expand art-centered content across digital, cultural, and media platforms, inspiring millions to engage with faith and share their personal stories—so that together we affirm that belovedness is available to all. ### This Year In 2025, we continued advancing toward our vision of one million people encountering the *Prince of Peace*, free of charge, while developing Belóved Studios, which expands the Belóved mission through digital media, film, and immersive storytelling, extending the reach of art beyond physical spaces. ## Impact by Numbers ##### 2025 Highlights 19995 + TOTAL EXHIBITION GUESTS TO DATE ##### Marble Falls, Texas and Seoul, South Korea 0 ## MILLION 0 ### MILLION PEOPLE REACHED DIGITALLY ### ONE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION LAUNCHED ## Seoul, South Korea ### 3 MONTH EXHIBITION EXTENSION ##### Seoul, South Korea 0 + GUESTS WELCOMED TO DATE ##### Seoul, South Korea ### OVER 50 INTERNATIONAL FAITH & BUSINESS LEADERS HOSTED 19995 + WORDS TRANSLATED INTO WORLD LANGUAGES ##### Guest Reflections ## Stories of Impact ##### *Akiane: The Early Years* “The sense of love, acceptance, reconciliation, wholeness, and oneness comes together so beautifully in what you have created within the gallery.” Laurie “Akiane’s artwork has brought Jesus back into my life.” Lee “I left feeling inspired, grounded, and deeply grateful.

Discover how our mission to inspire through art and faith is making headlines worldwide. **Content:** News & Updates # Press and Media In 2003, an eight-year-old who had never gone to church or read a bible, painted a portrait of Jesus that became world-famous, then suddenly went missing for twenty years. Miraculously recovered and now hanging in a small Texas town, *Prince of Peace* is still the most recognized portrait of Jesus in the world. Within just a few short months, over 10,000 people from 15 different countries have journeyed to Belóved Gallery in Marble Falls, Texas, to take their moment with the painting. Founded to amplify the work of extraordinary artists, Belóved Gallery’s mission is for people of all backgrounds to experience faith through art. Our premier exhibition, *Akiane: The Early Years*, is thoughtfully curated to tell the miraculous story of Akiane and her *Prince of Peace* painting through art, poetry, and film, providing a space for reflection, response, and connection. Showcasing 14 of Akiane’s original childhood paintings, *Akiane: The Early Years* allows in-person viewings of *Prince of Peace* for the first time since its creation. Among the collection are works such as *Dreams* and *The Missing Years*, also re-imagined from Akiane’s visions of heaven, and *Turquoise Eyes*, Akiane’s eleven-year-old self-portrait.

With the founding purpose of honoring God, the exhibition opens by sharing the mission of Belóved Gallery, introducing the miraculous story of Akiane’s art and message of unwavering faith, unconditional love, and eternal life. Guests are drawn into Akiane’s current story and most recent artistic expressions, before journeying to learn about her astounding early life as a child prodigy. Through rare media appearances and moments of early global recognition, guests explore how a young girl, raised in a non-religious household, was transformed by Divine visions that ultimately changed her entire family’s faith. The exhibition’s centerpiece is a powerful, immersive media experience in which Akiane’s paintings are digitally transformed to bring her heavenly visions to life. This leads guests into a reverent space housing her masterpieces of Jesus, including *Prince of Peace*, *Jesus: The Missing Years*, *Dreams*, *Father Forgive Them*, and *Jesus*. To conclude, guests are invited to share their experience and enter a sacred space for reflection and prayer beneath a soaring four-story LED screen showcasing Akiane’s art in large-scale digital format. This final moment allows each visitor to respond in their own way to the presence of God through art. ## Press Packet Discover the heart of the exhibition and the miracle behind *Prince of Peace* — available in English and Korean.
