Akiane Kramarik was born in Mount Morris, Illinois to a Lithuanian mother and an American father. She is homeschooled.[1]
She is primarily a self-taught painter. However, she states that God has given her the visions and abilities to create her artwork, which is unusual for her family, considering both her parents were atheists at the time (they later converted to Christianity on account of Kramarik's paintings and visions). Kramarik started drawing at the age of four, advancing to painting at six, and writing poetry at seven. Her first completed self-portrait sold for US$10,000.[2] A portion of the money generated from sales is donated by Kramarik to charities.[3] According to Kramarik, her art is inspired by her visions of heaven, and her personal connection with God. Kramarik's art depicts life, landscape, and people.
At the age of 10, she appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and at the age of 12, on CNN.[4]
That’s great she has art skills, many people have that also, even at that age. But we have to understand, God doesn’t call ANYONE just to advance in their skills. Just so they could make a profit, and give to charities. “God”…Jehovah God ,(Exo.6:3), calls one to be his servants and to do his will. From reading the bible, God’s words shows those he gave the gift of visions. Were ONLY those who ALREADY were serving him, like Isaiah and Daniel? The same with having a vision into heaven, again, ONLY the one serving the God of Israel, Jehovah. Would be the one he ,(God), give that blessing, Like John ,(Rev. 5). Also many should know, God’s doesn’t use his servants to gain anything, by using the media. And to have a personal connection with God, one would have to take the time to get to know him…and Jesus , (John17:3). Be careful, satan does come pretending to be Jehovah God…and Jesus , (2Cor. 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light). peace

SERIOUSLY?????????? You would JUDGE this little girl???????? Of course you would...that's what most alleged "Christians" do because they don't understand anything about who and what God truly is.
She is connected to God the way we all should be...you think because her vision is somehow not "holy" enough for you that it's not real???????? You have no idea the things we could accomplish in this world if we were ALL connected to God the way she is...she is allowing God to live through her...perhaps you should try the same before you JUDGE her walk.

I know, where do people come up with this stuff to so condemn those given gifts by God Himself to serve God with those talents? They be swatting at flys and swallowing camels.Everyone is called differantly.
It is none of our business to judge nor condemn how God calls someone.
JN 21:21-22 "Peter seeing him [John] said to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus said unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to you? follow you me." Or what if she is a painter, what is that to us except to respect her even as we should "honor all men."
In my mind, the question here has nothing to do with this girl's talents or that she believes God is giving her visions of heaven to paint. Perhaps she is, but, until more is known, the issues are with (1) The strange and suggestive title of this thread: "The Athiest God made Famous as His Chosen" (What in the world does that mean??); (2) The notion that anyone claiming God's inspiration and promoting Spiritual things ... (even a child) ...should automatically be considered a 'credible' witness of God and His will; and (3) That folks repeatedly come onto the Christian Forum (this thread and many others) and 'bash' Christians as "fundies" and "Bibleans" or worse, for quoting scripture and/or seeking God's truth in Spiritual matters.
God has given us His inspired Word of truth for a reason -- Our choice is either to use it or reject it in favor of whatever happens to be popular in the world at the moment.

Yeshua Bless You
This was taken directly from wiki and I also don’t understand why the wording "The Athiest God made Famous" was used by the OP.
