ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: GRANT MANIÉR
See why Grant Maniér chooses to celebrate Earth Day every day in his eco-art piece "Recycle Me Again," featuring products ethically and sustainably sourced by Grant himself.
Grant Maniér
"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 worlds autism, cancer and art. His obsession with tearing and cutting paper became his form of healing. Grant is changing the perceptions of how to reduce, reuse, and recycle by creating extraordinary collages using thousands of pieces of recycled calendars, magazines, posters, puzzles and more. From an owl made from movie posters to dolphins crafted with applesauce lids, Grant is raising the awareness and beauty of recycling.
Today, Grant is an award-winning artist and advocate, capturing the attention of national media and being honored with awards multiple times for his Eco-impressionism as well as his outstanding contribution to the community. Grant brings his visual art exhibit and literacy program into schools and organizations, teaching the importance of environmental responsibility through his art and new children’s book series: Grant the Jigsaw Giraffe and friends.
He also supports great causes and has raised thousands of dollars for student scholarships, therapy, camps, and more. Whether an admirer or owner of an Eco-original or print, people love his art, his story, and that he stands for “HOPE”.

Grant Maniér (maun-yay), is an award-winning Eco-Artist who has incorporated conservationism into his work. REDUCE-REUSE-RECYCLE and UPCYCLE serves as the foundation for his amazing creations.
But that's not all; Grant is also an award-winning children's book illustrator who merges art and reading, inspiring creativity and raising awareness about protecting the environment.
Grant's passion for art and illustrating is his unique form of self-expression and a source of healing, demonstrating that autism does not define him; he defines his autism through his talents and skills.
I am deeply honored to have my artwork installed at the New Center for Child Development location for Children's Wisconsin.
I want to express my gratitude to the Miller family for sponsoring the wall that displays three of my print pieces: "The Dragonfly Tango," "The Aquarium," and "The Resting Peacock." They also included a bio picture of me, which I find both funny and appropriate given my use of puzzles in my artwork. Additionally, they added a quote I often say: "It's not what you can't do that makes you different. It's what you can do that makes a difference."
The center is truly unique, offering everything needed for therapy, counseling, group conferences, support groups, and more. It’s incredible to see how far things have come since I began my therapy for autism in 2000.
I am also thrilled to have two of my original pieces displayed in the conference rooms.
The Willow Tree Collection. Prints available in July.
Thank you again, Children's Wisconsin. I look forward to contributing in any way I can to raise awareness about the special talents and incredible people within the neurodiverse community.
