Xavier Garza grew up among storytellers in his hometown of Rio Grande City along the Texas-Mexico border. The best of the storytellers included his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. When his parents, who made a living as migrant farmworkers, left annually to pick the crops in agricultural fields far from home, Garza would spend weeks, sometimes months with his grandparents. His early art training was assisted by his grandmother who made sure that Garza always had a batch of crayons and paper to keep him occupied drawing and doodling.
