Sean Hannity interviews Akiane Kramarik, the artist who says she experienced visions of Jesus and heaven as a child and painted the famous Prince of Peace portrait at age 8.

An apparent childhood disappearance sent Akiane Kramarik's family and police scrambling to find her, but the artist who famously painted Jesus at age 8 says she was somewhere no one thought to look.

"I recall I am in this entire zone, I'm seeing my whole family and all the dogs and all of the police below," Kramarik said on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast.

"It's as if I have like an eagle-eyes perspective."

Kramarik, 32, recalled feeling as though her body had "zoomed out" before everything went black.ย 

According to Kramarik, her disappearance sparked fears of a possible kidnapping, prompting family members, neighbors and police to launch a search.

"My mom comes and she can't find me. My brothers search around the house, they couldn't find me. [They] call[ed] my dad. Every single neighbor, every friend... The police come, their dogs come, everybody is around the whole neighborhood searching for me. I'm missing, and no one knows where," she said.

"They think it was a potential kidnapping," she continued. "So my photo was displayed in all the town."

Kramarik said she was just 5 years old when the incident occurred in Missouri, recalling that what she described as a journey through another realm corresponded to nearly seven hours of elapsed time, according to her parents.

"My parents told me it was about six and a half, seven hours, something like that," she shared.

During that time, Kramarik said God showed her extraordinary sights and imparted knowledge to her. She described the experience as lasting longer than the nearly seven hours she said she was missing.

Kramarik's account is one of several spiritual experiences she has described from her childhood, a period also marked by her exceptional artistic talent.

At age 8, she painted "Prince of Peace," her now-famous portrait of Jesus that helped propel her to international recognition as a child prodigy.

Kramarik said her otherworldly experience left a lasting impression that extended beyond her artwork. She said the experience also prompted her parents, who had raised their children in a nonreligious household, to reconsider their beliefs.
