"Sight Unseen"
John Bramblitt, 33, of Denton, TX, had never picked up a paintbrush until complications from a rare form of epilepsy left him blind at the age of 20. A feature on CBS Evening News led us to him and his incredible talent, which will be the featured exhibit at the Old Post Office Museum during September and October. His work is both beautiful and inspirational. John will also be conducting some art workshops for us…details coming soon. Visit his website at www.bramblitt.net.
