Ribbons of light and delicate shadow stream through a small gallery in Marble Falls, Texas. Mounted oil paintings radiate peace. Arresting acrylics convey hope. The art and poetry of Akiane Kramarik tugs at the heart. A box of tissues rests near a globally recognized portrait of Jesus.
The Belóved Gallery is a portal-like space that transports visitors to a dream-like place: other-worldly portraits on one wall, wondrous verse on another. An ethereal ambience binds them together in the exhibit “Akiane: The Early Years.” There are eruptions of colors and shapes (“Creation”) and a man in white suspended above buildings and clouds (“Dreams”).
