Inward Beauty

By Healthy Wealthy nWise

Akiane Kramarik's paintings have sold for up to $1 million. She has been a guest of the Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, and Good Morning America. Her two bestselling books are "Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry" and "My Dream Is Bigger Than I - Memories of Tomorrow". Although she has quite an impressive resume under her belt, you might be surprised to learn she's still a child.

After drawing for only a couple of years, Akiane moved on to her real passions, painting (at age six) and writing poetry (at age seven). Her work has been featured all over the world including exhibitions in the United States, Canada, Singapore and England. She is a member of both the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children and the Kids' Hall of Fame.

Akiane says she started down this path because she began seeing visions as a young child. Her family hasn't always been religious, but even so long ago, Akiane believed her visions were from God. She believed He told her to keep them quiet, so rather than telling others what she saw, she drew.

Akiane saw visions, but she also believes she's part of them as if she's able to consciously be in two places at one time. She once told her mother that this was her reasoning behind the painting "Eternity". It's an experience she calls "shared self" because the visions of other places are so realistic to her.

Inspiration can be found anywhere. Akiane finds it in the most unlikely of places: the feel of an animal's fur, the scent of a flower, or the echoes of light dancing around objects during certain times of the day. Akiane paints what she sees and feels in such a way that the textures seem to pour from her paintbrush effortlessly.

Of course it sounds so clich, but stop and smell the roses. Akiane does it every day. There's beauty everywhere if you know where and how to look for it. She uses her art and poetry to show the beauty to others by polishing what's in her mind. It's something she feels anyone can learn to do through any type of art, writing, or music.

Each of Akiane's paintings has a unique meaning behind them. She had a reason for painting each one. For example, "Hand of Destiny" shows a left hand grasping its chosen destiny while the right is moving around helplessly. We have to choose our own destinies. "The Quantum World" is only a microscopic piece of the world she sees, including the different dimensions of her world.

Even colors have deep meaning to Akiane. When she paints white, she paints truth. When she paints pink, she paints trust. When she paints black, she paints suffering. Each stroke and each poetic word carry meanings deeper than many of us have ever attempted to imitate. Look around. See the world in a different way. Find the beauty within everything.
