Evelyn Raymond (March 20, 1908 – April 25, 1998) was an American sculptor. Raymond lived in Duluth, Minnesota. In 1928 she received a scholarship to the Minneapolis School of Art.[1]

Biography

Her teacher at the Minneapolis School of Art was Charles S. Raymond, with whom she studied for two years; from 1930 to 1932 she studied painting under Cameron Booth, and in 1932 she went to New York to study at the Art Students League under William Zorach.[2]

She created work for the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression,[1] and taught from 1939 to 1951 at the Walker Art Center, where she eventually became head of the sculpture department.[3] At one point during the Depression she taught sculpture for 25 cents an hour. She also founded the Minnesota Sculpture Society, of which she served for a time as president, during the 1940s.[4]

When in 1958 the Minnesota Statehood Centennial Commission decided to place a sculpture in the National Statuary Hall collection it was Raymond who was chosen to execute the statue;[2] the resulting depiction of Maria Sanford may still be seen in the United States Capitol.[5] The Walker Art Center and the Minnesota Museum of Art are among the museums holding examples of her work,[2] which may also be found in public collections around the state.[4] Raymond exhibited both alone and in group shows throughout her career.[2]

Raymond's papers are currently held by the Minnesota Historical Society.[3]
