Akiane, the most famous artistic child prodigy alive
A very interesting story. Oprah has interviewed her.
How did you learn to paint?
Through a lot of work, study, and observation. When I was 4 years old, I was taken to heaven, and from then on I started having visions and I felt inspired to draw. I enjoyed working by myself. I drew many faces mostly from my head and at 6, I started painting in pastels. At 7, I received my first acrylic set. At 8, I was ready for oils. And at 10, I switched back to acrylics.
This might be tough to swallow for some, and her style has a very New Testament feel to it, but it's hard to argue with the talent. Here is the artwork available on her own web site.
It's truly impressive.

I saw her on Oprah. She was such a cute and charming little girl.
