Raymond was an artist and journalist, he was the second son of Norman Lindsay (1879-1969) and his first wife Katie Parkinson.

He trained at the Julian Ashton Art School, at the Queen Victoria Building in George Street Sydney during the early 1920s.

In the late 1920s and early 1930s Raymond found minor fame as a painter of historically themed paintings, especially after one of his large works, “Major Johnson announcing the arrest of Governor Bligh”, was purchased by Dame Nellie Melba in 1928.

Despite a lack of lasting success in his painting career, Raymond became the art critic for the Sydney Daily Telegraph newspaper. He died of cancer in 1960. He was married twice and had no children.
