Houstonian Grant Manier describes himself as an "eco-artist." He applies recycled material to canvas to create art — but also to help him deal with the anxiety caused by Autism.
His artwork will be featured on an upcoming edition of Arts InSight, this Friday, Feb. 24, at 8:30 p.m. on Houston Public Media TV 8.
Grant gives us a firsthand account of how he creates his pieces and the benefits his art has on both himself and others he meets.
