While in Santa Fe we visited the Gallery of Nedra Matteucci.  They were featuring the artist " Micheal Naranjo."  His story is amazing.  He lost his eyesight in Vietnam.  It is hard to believe the detail in his sculptures from memory.  His sculptures all have their eyes smudged out.  He feels that if he can not see then  his sculptures can not see either.  The artist is Native American and lives near Santa Fe. Ironically Bob and I have a friend who also lost his eyesight in Vietnam and also sculpts western art in great detail.

We didn't take our camera in the gallery thinking we would not be able to take pictures. But, they said we could take photos so I used my phone.  The gallery also had a beautiful display of sculptures outside of the building in the garden area.  I have more photos to share later.
