She is truly an extremely talented child - but read this from her website...
Why did you paint the portrait of Jesus?
It was God's timing; I had been looking for a Jesus model for two years, and I could not find the right face. Then one day I asked my family to pray with me all day. We petitioned God to send the model right through our front door. The next day a tall carpenter came in. He was so humble, and I was surprised that he agreed to model for me. But a week later he called back to say that he was unworthy to represent his master. We all prayed together again, and a few days later he called back to tell us that God wanted him to do it, but he had to cut his hair and beard in three days. So we took a few pictures and I studied his face for a long time. After dozens of sketches, I started painting. It took me 40 hours to finish the first Jesus painting –The Prince of Peace-- and I still remember I lost four teeth in that time!

That's just a parable to explain the unexplanable of course. The real way it happened was that God appeared in the bubbles in bottle of Rola Cola, but everyone would just think that was f***ing stupid, so with have to to comewith a plausible story like this bag of elephant dung etc etc repeat until zzzzzz

Ditto but I was imaginative and reversed all the colours in the pallet...
Some bizarre pictures came out of those kits... I do wish I had kept them now tho - if Tracy Emin can sell art I would have been rich beyond my wildest dreams and living in Ibiza in a strangely painted Hacienda..
