Raymond Meeks was born in 1963 and raised in central Ohio. His regard for song and short story, especially those centred around impermanence or loss, are at the centre of his work. “For me, essayist, philosopher and literary naturalist Loren Eiseley said it best in his writing, "Nothing is lost, but it can never be again as it was". I think the best stories are about loss and the impermenance that surrounds our everyday lives.” (Raymond Meeks)
He continues to be inspired by collaboration with writers of poetry and short fiction and the merging of visual and word narratives to produce unique artistic books. Meeks uses various types of traditional printing to create hauntingly evocative and emotionally dense images.
