Richard Louis Perri portrait

Born in Rockville Centre, NY in 1944. After studying in the Southwest, I came to San Francisco in 1967 with “flowers in my hair.” My main focus is making art as a Fine Artist Oil Painter. I’m experienced in creating work in various genres and in a diverse and varied subject matter. My art exhibited primarily in galleries and museums in San Francisco and also is permanently in the National Museums in Shenzen and Wuhan China. I am known for painting the history of San Francisco and have been described by SF Chron staff writer Carl Nolte as “San Francisco’s Greatest Undiscovered Artist” because I paint pictures of undiscovered places in San Francisco. I love this city, made it my home. It’s my inspiration and would love the opportunity for my images to roll around town expressing it.
