About Perry Vasquez, our cover artist
“I was born in Los Angeles and grew up in North Carolina where drawing barns in the country was one of my first art experiences. I have operated in the San Diego/Tijuana border region since 1987. During my graduate studies in the early 1990s, I began making excursions across the border to investigate the cultural milieu of Tijuana… Recently I have focused on the iconic image of the palm tree as a subject matter for my interest in the environmental myth of California.”
