Richard Haynes Jr. is truly an American Artist. Today he lives with his family in seacoast New Hampshire. But 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.

In 1958 he made the cultural leap to New York City, and attended the High School of Art & Design. After four years in the U.S. Air Force at the height of the Viet Nam era, he majored in Fine Arts as a painter/ printmaker at Lehman College, a New York City University, graduating in 1976.

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.
