2021 EVENT ARTWORK AND ARTIST

Introducing this year’s event artist and artwork: Grant Pecoff. A native San Diegan, Pecoff received his formal training at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. He soon realized that his real classroom was the world around him. “When I was a child, my father traveled to remote places across the globe, searching for rare plants,” Pecoff reminisces. “His stories of those experiences were enchanting to me. He taught us to notice life around us and to express our feelings. It encouraged the development of my playfulness and imagination.”
