Worku Mamo, Ethiopian Artist

JON_6233
After Losing his arms in an explosion as a child, Worku Mamo was not a likely candidate to become an influential artist in Ethiopia. Nearly 60 years later he has become just that. His love for his craft is contagious and accomplishing what he has with the limitations he has is truly inspirational. He currently owns and runs an art school with his Daughter in Addis Ababa.

Page Trimble - If I’m seeing this mans work right he painted the things that are sitting behind him? That’s incredible. It always fascinates me the ability that people have to do things when they want to.
