Child Prodigy, Artist, Poet

I've posted some paintings here for all of you to enjoy. The interesting thing about them is that they were painted by a child between the ages of 8 and 11. Her name is Akiane Kramarik. She has been called a child prodigy in art and poetry. She was born in the US by Lithuanian immigrants who happened to be athiest. At age 4 she said that she had a life-changing spiritual transformation and began to paint. With no formal training she's said that her abilities are a gift from God. It's quite inspiring. Thanks Aunt Christie.

Wow. This is why I didn't major in Art in college. Some people are born with it. Sigh, if only I was born with just a little more talent. ;)

Wendi, you shouldn't compare yourself to a child prodigy (I learned that the hard way). You have so many other talents--like filling out teengage magazine quizes for example. ;)
