R.D. Riccoboni

Randy David Riccoboni (born 1960) is a painter known for his colorful architectural paintings, landscapes, and portrait work. He has used his work to bring attention to important issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community, especially the AIDS epidemic and the legalization of gay marriage in the U.S.

He settled down in California in 1993 after moving between New York and California for a couple years. Prior to his career in art, Riccoboni worked in banking and human resources. His work can also be found on various social networking sites where he posts his work and interacts with other artists. His paintings of the scenery and architectural structures of the park began ten years prior to the release of the booklet, which was created with Ann Jarmusch and the Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO) in honor of the 100-year anniversary of the 1915 California-Panama Exposition.

Riccoboni participated in the collaborative Art & Architecture exhibition held throughout March 2021 at The Studio Door. For this exhibition, Riccoboni and other artists were brought together to recognize historic landmarks in San Diego.
