From Texas Public Radio:
Jesse Treviño is one San Antonio’s greatest artists. For decades, he’s celebrated everyday life on the city’s West Side with photorealistic paintings and murals. He found his calling early, and by age 18 he was studying in a premier New York City art school, training for a long and successful career. But the unexpected journey Treviño endured, from young artist to the celebrated status he enjoys today, was darker and more difficult than anyone could have imagined.
