The Gift of Sight
Many times a person with a deafness exhibits a remarkable gift through one or more of their other senses such as sight and touch. It is almost as if another sense is strengthened. Our friend, Freddy, is an example of this. He is a unique individual with many gifts including one of art. He is able to see things that others do not and able to transfer what he sees with great passion and detail through different media. This is an example of a charcoal art drawing that Freddy recently shared with me. Freddy graduated this past year with a BA from Gallaudet University in DC. He is currently teaching in a high school and university in Texas. When I first found out my children were deaf, I was devastated because I wanted them to hear, but little did I know that they would see the colors on the wings of butterflies with such passion and appreciation. Freddy, you are an artist! We are very proud of you. Keep listening and "hearing with your heart".
Thank you for the exhibition of my artwork on your blog. I am very impressed by your new blog website and I am very glad that you devoted your time to educate people about "Deaf". Thank you so much for being part of us :)

ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure and an honor to exhibit your art work on this blog. I assure you that I will be one of many who will display your art in the future. You are an artist at heart. You are evidence of what can be done when we work hard and focus on our goals. I love being part of "us". (me too included)
Shall we all learn to listen and "hear with our hearts".
