• Recipient of the Walter Annenberg Fellowship, Eisenhower Medical Center, Rancho Mirage, CA

New York City had limitless offerings for Peckham to advance their skills. He found The Art Students League of New York, based on the European atelier system whereby students apprentice under working masters and advance over time as the student learns all aspects of their chosen discipline. Years later, Peckham would return to the Art Students League and become a class monitor and teaching assistant for some course faculty.
For over ten years Peckham flourished sharing a live/work space in the Gretsch Building, 60 Broadway, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.This was one of the most successful art colonies in New York. During this time, Peckham exhibited his work both nationally and internationally. Due to the untimely death of the Gretsch Building’s owner, all the artists were forced to leave.
