Though Richbourg has been painting and drawing "Mad Dogs" since the '80s, his earliest works were pop art pieces, mostly of cowboys. Nicknamed the “painter laureate of baseball,” Richbourg is perhaps most famous for his renditions of America’s favorite pastime during the golden age of the sport. His father, a professional player in the Major Leagues in the 1920’s, was a great influence in Richbourg’s earlier work, which was created mostly in vivid watercolor. His mother, a teacher and amateur artist, encouraged Richbourg in his early creative endeavors. Richbourg, whose work has been shown at multiple New York City galleries, is an artist and professor emeritus of fine art at St. Michael’s College in Colchester.
