My name is Hyder Raymond Raza. I was born in India but grew up in the US. I graduated from Georgetwon Preparatory School and have degrees from St. Joseph's University (PA), Catholic University, and the University of San Francisco.

I did some painting as a teenager and in college but have returned to it later in life. My themes are tropical landscapes and wildlife, especially endangered species.

Presenty I am living in Costa Rica. I could exhibit my works in Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, and El Salvador.
