I keep seeing all these articles and news clips of this "self-taught prodigy" named Akiane. She's been on Oprah and I believe Maury as well, and her art sells for thousands. Many of the subjects she supposedly paints are religious or symbolic of spiritualism in some way, and she claims to communicate with God.
There is little debate about it that I can readily find at the moment, most sites and articles praising her amazing talent. I've been thinking of emailing Snopes.com about it to see what they can find, and maybe put some people in their rightful places.
Another thing I find odd about this Akiane person is that her entire family was supposedly Atheist, home-schooled her all her life, and from what I can gather apparently kept her inside a plastic religion-free BUBBLE her whole life, never to venture to the outside world, let alone hear of this mysterious "God"-creature from anyone, oh no sir. (Yeah right.)
So any opinions or better yet valid debates on this?
