Description | Meet Grant Maniér, a Houston-based, self-proclaimed “Eco Artist” who creates expressive works of art out of recycled materials. As a child, Grant struggled with anxiety that stemmed from his autism and tearing paper became his coping mechanism. As time went on, Grant discovered he could use that soothing habit of tearing and cutting paper to create masterpieces using all sorts of reused materials as his medium. His mother, Julie Coy-Maniér, has been his biggest champion and has been overjoyed to watch her son work with his autism and grow as an artist. The “Eco-Artist” supplies his passion with torn paper and discarded puzzle pieces to create his works, which can take over a month to make. Like many talented creators, Grant revels most in his work when he finally finishes and signs his name to his pieces. The “Eco-Artist” appreciates that his talent has opened many doors for him and wants to do the same for others. In the future, Grant hopes to open a gallery that showcases art created by those with special needs. Visit the Houston Public Media Arts InSight website to learn more! |
