MCALLEN – A Rio Grande Valley artist with autism discovered his gift after his mother signed him up for art classes.

Now, his artwork has been on exhibit in New York and sells for thousands of dollars.

Anthony Rivera developed his own style; not using brushes, but only his hands.

Music is also a major component to his art.

A McAllen business owner, with a new venue, has offered Anthony to exhibit his work locally.
