Michael Naranjo
“I knew I could still be a sculptor if I worked at it. Now I had something to live for.”
A grenade in Vietnam took Naranjo's sight and the use of his right hand. In a hospital bed he shaped an inchworm out of clay and decided he could still be an artist — he now sculpts entirely by touch, and his work has been exhibited internationally.
