have you guys heard of this child prodigy and her stunning paintings, poetry and spirituality? I found out about her work yesterday and am totally blown away...
She paints beautiful imaginative, realistic and spiritual images & dreamscapes that she sees in dreams and visions. Same goes for her poetry of which the words sound so wise that i can hardly believe they're written by a child...
This is not of this world. I HAD to share it.

Reminds me of the movie Catfish. Won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it. Jokes aside, this is awesome stuff!

I always find it interesting when someone so young, who's still relatively unaffected by The World, seems to have such a deep connection to what some might call "Source" or divine insight. Some people see that sort of stuff as satanic and from the devil. Other people see it as truly divine insight and inspiration. Crazy stuff. I mean, obviously this girl has to be getting what she's saying from somewhere. But where from?

Incredible. I'm short of words in describing how much this has touched me!
Seeing her drawings and the way she has a gift for analyzing subtleties at such a young age, and seeing how that acknowledgment grows and spreads throughout the years, is truly spectacular to see.

The talent is absolutly incredible but I'm not fond of the images themselves, as in, they don't do anything for me emotionally. I wonder what she'll be painting in 5 years time?

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Probably because she seems kinda out of it in her interviews. Some of the things she says make me think somethings going on with her family behind the scenes, she keeps referring to being isolated and sheltered.
Still though, you cant deny the talent. But the religious overtones are a big turn off.
