For artists, vision is the most precious ability one has; to lose it would be such a blow that the artist's creative life might end. However, throughout the history of art, there have been many great artists who have worked with profound disabilities. Inspired by memories of his childhood at Santa Clara Pueblo, Michael Naranjo makes beautiful sculptures our of bronze and marble. But Michael's work is more than sculpture, each piece is a story of determination, of working against the odds. When he lost his sight while serving in the Vietnam War, his inner strength spurred him on to create art with a new vision.
