After spending his childhood in residential care, Irish street artist Liam Grennan has overcome a lack of self-confidence to learn how to master his art.
No matter how much raw talent you may have, it always takes a bit of hard graft to truly master an art form. One person who learned that the hard way was Liam Grennan, a young Irish street artist whose life was turned around when a former art teacher named Dominic helped him get back on track.
