About Patrick
Patrick Raymond is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work spans oils, acrylics, murals, and pen-and-ink drawing. For Raymond, art began as curiosity — a way to understand light, shape, and feeling — and gradually evolved into a lifelong practice of observation and creative exploration.
Rather than confining himself to a single style, Raymond moves comfortably between abstraction, realism, caricature, and expressive hybrids. Each piece begins with a question: What story does this want to tell? From there, he allows the subject — not the category — to guide color, form, and composition.
His paintings and drawings often explore movement, memory, humor, and emotional depth. Some works invite quiet reflection. Others lean toward playfulness. Many live in the space between what is seen and what is felt.
Across mediums, Raymond’s intention remains the same:
to create work that encourages people to pause, look closer, and reconnect with their own imagination.
Whether working on canvas, paper, or large-scale mural surfaces, he approaches every project as a collaboration — between artist, material, environment, and viewer. Each mark becomes part of an ongoing conversation about how art shapes the way we experience the world.
Today, Raymond continues to refine his craft while remaining rooted in the same sense of curiosity that first drew him to art: a belief that creativity is not just something we produce — it is something we live.
Commission a Custom Artwork
Creating a custom piece is one of the most rewarding parts of Laurence Patrick Raymond’s work. A commissioned painting or drawing allows your story, memories, space, and personality to shape the final piece — resulting in artwork that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Laurence accepts commissions in a range of mediums, including oils, acrylics, murals, and pen-and-ink. Styles can be tailored from realism to abstract, expressive portraiture, or even playful caricature, depending on the vision and setting.
Every commission begins with a conversation. Together, we’ll discuss:
the subject or idea you have in mind
preferred size, medium, and style
colors, mood, or reference photos
where the piece will live (home, office, gift, public space, etc.)
From there, Laurence develops a concept sketch or plan, confirms details, and moves forward thoughtfully — keeping communication open along the way so you feel confident and excited about the process.
Custom artwork can mark important milestones, honor loved ones, celebrate place and memory, or simply bring beauty and creativity into a space that matters to you.
How the Process Works

About Patrick’s ART
I grew up believing art was something you admired from a distance.
Then I realized — the real magic happens when art moves closer.
When someone laughs at a caricature because it captures their spirit.
When a mural turns an ordinary space into a destination.
When a portrait brings tears — not because it’s “perfect,”
but because it feels like home.
My approach is simple:
✨ Notice the beauty most people rush past.
✨ Translate it with color, texture, and playfulness.
✨ Create work that feels alive — and meant for someone specific.
Whether I’m working on an oil painting, mural, illustration, or digital piece…
I’m always chasing that moment when someone looks at the finished work and says:
“That’s it. That’s exactly what I felt.”
That’s when I know I got it right.
🎨 I Don’t Just Paint Pictures — I Capture Moments People Never Want to Forget
Some art is meant to decorate a wall.
My art is meant to mean something.
I’m drawn to the moments most people rush past —
the laugh lines, the quiet strength in a face, the childhood memory that still warms your heart.
That’s what I chase when I create:
✨ the feeling
✨ the story
✨ the spark that makes someone say,
“That’s them. That’s exactly how they feel.”
Whether it’s an oil portrait, mural, illustration, or digital piece, my goal is simple:
➡️ create art that feels personal
➡️ sparks conversation
➡️ holds emotion for years to come
People come to me when they want something one-of-a-kind:
🎁 a gift that brings tears (the good kind)
🖼 a tribute that honors a loved one
🏡 a statement piece that turns a room into an experience
And commissioning a piece is easy.
No complicated process. No pressure. No “art world rules.”
You simply tell me:
- who it’s for
• what memory or feeling matters most
• any photos or ideas that inspire you
Then I translate that story into art — something created just for you, and no one else.
Because when art truly speaks to you,
it doesn’t just hang on the wall.
It becomes part of your life.
If something here resonates, if a piece makes you pause — let’s talk.
👉 I’d love to create a one-of-a-kind piece that speaks to your heart… and keeps telling the story for years to come.
