Raymond comes from a strong artistic background of well-known artists which include his grandfather Jack Cook and Aunties Margaret Scobie & Gloria Petyarre. Raymond has adopted a contemporary and very unique style of painting, using a wide range of colours and textures. This painting is Raymond's interpretation of his own Emu dreaming in which he paints the front breast of the adult Emu. The Emu is an important part of Aboriginal ceremony and is significant in the makeup of men's ceremonial dress.
