Page 1 of 3
EARLY YEARS: Raymond Warren Bennett, born of English and German heritage, lived his formative years in Delaware County, Pennsylvania where he was raised in the Catholic faith along with his two older brothers. His father, Robert, a successful entrepreneur passed away in 1989 at the age of 77, and his mother, Marjorie, a devoted wife, mother and housekeeper passed away in 2002 at the age of 84. Both parents were attentive in providing their children with what they needed without exceeding material or emotional limits. Both Robert and Marjorie grew up poor and therefore always recognized the importance of hard work, wisdom, determination, faith and honesty, often instilling these positive messages into their children.
CAREER LIFE: Throughout his diverse and challenging career, Raymond has been accredited with the design and execution of: Corporate Identity Campaigns, Residential & Retail Interiors, Product Development, Product Packaging, Historic Photograph Restoration, Architectural Drawings, Photo Styling, Landscape Photography, Trade Show Exhibits, Retail Advertising, Visual Sales Presentations and Marketing Programs. His body of work can be summed up in three words: Distinctive, Elegant & Impeccable. These given trademarks have always served to validate his steadfast intention to honor each subject, time frame and medium in a powerful and practical manner. His sensitivity to color, his passion towards design and his desire to innovate have truly earned the applause of many . . . an ovation merited by class, entrepreneurial success and a devotion to his art.
In July of 1998, while on a freelance business assignment to capture promotional images for a major east coast publication, Raymond met an extremely unique woman . . . a woman whom identified herself as an angel from Heaven sent by God to bring him a message of direction and comfort. When the perplexed landscape photographer asked her, "Do I know you?", she replied, "No, but I know you. You are Raymond Warren Bennett", and then proceeded to tell him where he was born, what schools he went to, what his aspirations were and what he worried most about . . . his future financial security. She went on to tell him, "God wants you to create a line of fine art in a new medium that you will discover for yourself. These works of art will be colorful and alluring . . . art that will capture one's imagination and speak to one's soul. This new style of art will become part of your heavenly destiny for it will serve as a vehicle to bring people to you and your divine story, and in return, your divine story will bring people to your new art". She also told Raymond, " To validate this prophecy, I inform you that your very first sale for your new art will take place four years from this very time frame." That fateful day was August 13th, 1998 and four years later on August 8, 2002, Raymond was approach to sell one of his earlier created works produced in his newly learned medium - - digital imaging.
