Raymond Han was an American painter who was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1931, and died in upstate New York in 2017.[1] After study with Willson Young Stamper (1912–1988) at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Han moved to New York City and studied at the Art Students League of New York with Frank Mason (born 1921) and Robert Beverly Hale (1901–1985). Han lived and worked in upstate New York for the last period of his working life.
