— For Berkeley artist Raymond L. Haywood, painting is his foundation.
« I just love painting. I would paint on the ground. I would paint in the mud. I just like making marks. And I think that’s a really human desire to make marks », Haywood explains. « It’s a journey. It’s about that exploration. »
For Haywood, finding balance in his art is an integral part of his process.
« There’s an intellectual part, but then there’s this totally emotional part », Haywood reveals. « So we took this surfing lesson, and the couple of times that I got up, just like painting. You’re moving on something that you’re trying to balance and it’s taking you.
