The book explores the transformative journey of Granillo, who discovered the power of art while incarcerated in a federal prison for 10 years.

He received the Santa Fe Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s “40 Under 40” Award. His work has been shown in the Museum of International Folk Art, El Museo Cultural and in private galleries across the country.

Granillo’s artwork will hang in the Collected Works Gallery through the end of February.
