Blind artist John Bramblitt creates beautiful paintings — bursting with incredible colors, textures and details
John Bramblitt, an artist who suffered from epilepsy and became totally blind after a series of severe seizures in 2001, has overcome darkness as if by heavenly edict — Let there be Light! Since then, he has been miraculously creating paintings bursting with incredible beauty, colors, textures and details. His art has been sold here in the U.S. and abroad. He also published 2 painting books. Light has indeed penetrated the, as he puts it, “deepest darkest hole” of his life. He says, “Life for me now is way more colorful than it ever was.”
