“Richard Haynes is truly an American Artist. He knows this country from every perspective. Born to the south in 1949, Richard hails from James Island in Charleston, South Carolina where he spent his boy hood…
 
Richard’s colorful and diverse life is directly reflected in his art. Whether celebrating the harsh lives of migrant workers, or wandering the ancient halls of a colonial New England mansion, Richard sees scenes through his own deeply-held vision of America….

Richard begins, simply, with the scenes and citizens that capture his eye. Like Walt Whitman, he celebrates what it means to be an American in an era of great National transformation. Like Whitman, he tells our stories, not with words, but using shapes and hues, in a style that is both instantly familiar and surprisingly new.”
