Trash To Treasure-Featured Artist-Tyree Guyton

Tyree Guyton grew up in a poor neighborhood, messing around with junk, creating his own toys. His Grandpa Sam, who was a house painter, taught him to use paint. When he returned from serving in the army, he found his old neighborhood really rundown, so in 1986 he began what was called the Heidelberg Project, cleaning up and using paint and trash to make things beautiful again.
