Blind artist teaches his painting-by-touch methods to vision impaired in 
KearneyJohn Bramblitt, blind for more than a decade, uses his paintbrush 
like most visually impaired people use their canes.

He paints vivid landscapes and portraits in unbelievable detail by touch 
alone.

“I figured if I could use my cane to walk in a straight line, then 
surely I could walk a line down a canvas or piece of paper,” said 
Bramblitt, an artist and author from Dallas.

Bramblitt visited Kearney through the efforts of the Nebraska Commission 
for the Blind and Visually Impaired and a grant from the Nebraska Arts 
Council to teach his technique to area residents dealing with vision loss.

“We teach skills to keep blind and visually impaired people independent, 
but painting isn't something we know,” said Deanna Jesse, program 
specialist for the commission and coordinator of the art lesson.
