Jigsaw Grant

His obsession for paper became his form of art therapy."Today's world is turning into an Eco-Friendly environment and Eco-Art is playing a fundamental role in the way people are recycling." Emerging as one of the most notable young artists of the new millennium, Grant Maniér (maun-yay), a young talented Eco-Artist combines his two worlds: autism and art.
