Sullivan, Raymond (1903 - 1983)

Raymond Sullivan (1903 - 1983) was an American artist. Born in the Chicago area, Sullivan's father left him and his mother when he was and went to Los Angeles. Not long after, Sullivan and his mother went to Los Angeles to hopefully find his father. It was during his childhood in Los Angeles that Sullivan decided to pursue a career in the arts. Sullivan and his mother moved to San Francisco at some point during his childhood, where he attended the Mark Hopkins School of Art. After his studies there, Sullivan relocated to Paris to study at the Academie Julienne. He soon found himself splitting his time between Paris and San Francisco. At the outbreak of World War II, Sullivan and his family permanently relocated to San Francisco where Sullivan continued his career as an artist.
