<Child Prodigy in Idaho>..Thanks so much Karen..I absolutely love to hear about kids like her..

Earlier this year, I met an 11 year old boy who tests on the postgraduate level for science and math..unlike the stereotypical shy and isolated genius, Ben is outgoing and has many friends..he's an utter joy to be around..living in a small town in Colorado, he's very fortunate that his parents had the resources to create a school to accomodate his intellectual and emotional needs..I couldn't help but think I'll be hearing about his wonderful work for humanity when he matures..

Small world.

I met Akiane late last year and saw some of her work in Coeur d'Alene.
Article indicates she is likely living in Boise now.
She was living in Post Falls or Coeur d'Alene back then.

Her parents were interested in leasing my office/warehouse building in Hayden at the time for a new studio for her. Akiane came by twice with her mom and a third time with dad and sibling.

She has a great website artakiane.com

Another artsy outfit, Sunshine Minting, stepped up and leased the building. They make chips for casinos and specialty coins.

12-year-old Idaho girl creates stunning art



Yes, I saw a program on her a year or so ago. That is true divinely inspired talent. She lives less than an hours drive from where I do.
