It was a vision of a carpenter that ignited Akiane’s creative journey towards “Prince of Peace.” After tirelessly searching for a model resembling Jesus, she turned to prayer. Miraculously, a carpenter, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Jesus, appeared at their doorstep. Filled with certainty, Akiane confidently exclaimed to her mother, “That’s him!”

Despite enduring arduous legal battles, Akiane ultimately reclaimed her stolen painting, which she then sold to a dedicated art enthusiast. Today, “Prince of Peace” finds its home at the esteemed Belóved Gallery in Marble Falls, Texas. Reflecting on its miraculous return, Akiane expresses, “It still feels surreal to me… Love possesses an incredible power.”

Akiane’s extraordinary journey is a testament to the unyielding force of faith and the mighty influence of divine inspiration. Through her ethereal artwork, she reminds us that spirituality can manifest itself in the most unexpected of ways, touching the hearts of believers and non-believers alike.
