SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 975
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Grant Manier for his outstanding achievements as an |
|
artist; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Grant is a young student who has been diagnosed |
|
with autism; he has taken what some deem to be a disability and |
|
made it a strength by applying his unique skills and talents to |
|
the creation of artwork; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Grant has created an artistic style that he calls |
|
Eco-Art; he takes small scraps of paper from such various sources |
|
as Christmas wrapping paper, candy wrappers, movie posters, |
|
magazines, and even puzzle pieces and uses them to produce |
|
original, finished pieces of art; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, He has developed a sizable following for his art; |
|
he produces one-man shows and uses the proceeds from his work to |
|
help pay for the educational resources that help him thrive; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Grant has inspired countless people with his |
|
strength of spirit and his dedication to his craft, and he is |
|
truly deserving of recognition as he embarks on his career in |
|
art; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
Legislature, hereby commend Grant Manier on his exemplary |
|
determination, his positive outlook, and his creative endeavors |
|
and extend to him best wishes for continued success in the |
|
future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
