Blindness no obstacle for painting

Blindness no obstacle for painting Featured

In 2001 John Bramblitt changed his epilepsy medication. Unfortunately his body had a bad reaction to the new medicine and his epileptic seizures got so severe that the damage caused his vision to go from 20/400 (double the limit for legal blindness) to complete blindness.

While John maintained light perception he was no longer able to see shadows or color. Strangely, it wasn’t until John lost his eyesight that he started to paint.

On his website (http://bramblitt.myshopify.com/pages/faq) John goes into tremendous detail about his thoughts on blindness and how it has changed his outlook on life.

Below you will find some of John’s amazing paintings.
