Vibrant visions shine in deaf student's art
By Liz Barry
Published: December 19, 2010
Lorena Palma, who was born deaf, paints her world in bold shades of red, yellow and blue.

“These colors make me happy,” Palma writes on a piece of notebook paper, her primary means of communication when she does not have a sign language interpreter.

This afternoon, Palma, 24, works on a self-portrait for her senior art show at Liberty University.

The hard-copy version of the paper even has a pic of Sly's uncle.

Thanks for the link, CJ. As soon as I saw the headline I started looking to see if this was one of my uncle's students.

Terrific story of her personal story.
