Shah Bibi Tarahkhail doesn’t let her prosthetic arm stop her from being totally awesome.
Within weeks of getting a prosthetic arm after a horrific war injury, 7-year-old Afghani girl Shah Bibi Tarahkhail is being hailed as a "mind-blowing" abstract artist by a famous painter.

Shah Bibi was hurt less than a year ago, after she went outside one morning to play with her brother the night after a violent battle between Taliban fighters and U.S. military forces, the Daily Mail reports.
"There was what looked like a rock that she picked up and threw on the ground and it exploded," said Ilaha Omar, a Children of War Foundation member who brought the young girl to the U.S. to be treated for free at Shriners Hospital for Children Los Angeles.
The explosion destroyed most of her right arm and her right eye, scarred her face, and killed her brother.

While learning to use her new arm by spending time with abstract artist Davyd Whaley, Shah Bibi has discovered a new talent, with Whaley calling one of her paintings "pretty mind-blowing."
The child impressed him not just with her ability to handle a brush, he said, but with her grasp of matching colors.
"She kind of has a facility for it if she wants to pursue it," Whaley said, who currently has his own large exhibit at Galerie Michael.
