JOHN BRAMBLITT ART EXHIBIT  

August 5, 2010 through October 15, 2010

John Bramblitt is an artist living in Denton Texas, his art has been sold in over twenty countries and he has appeared internationally inprint, TV and radio. His work has received much recognition including the ‘Most Inspirational Video of 2008′ from You Tube and three Presidential Service Awards for his innovative art workshops.

While art was always a major part of John's life it was not until he lost his sight in 2001 that he began to paint, and it was then that he says, "Art reshaped my life." John's paintings are intensely personal, and are mostly taken from real people and events in his life. John's workshops are unique in the art world in that they not only span the gap between beginning and professional artists, but also include adaptive techniques for people with disabilities. According to John, "Everyone has an artist somewhere in them; sometimes they just need a little help letting it out."
