Born in Los Angeles, Raymond Chorneau found inspiration from the Bay Area figurative painters, abstract expressionists from the 1940s and 1950s, and cave paintings. He spent several decades in North Carolina, where he taught at UNC-Charlotte and lived in Blowing Rock. After an interlude in France, Chorneau and his partner now live in Portland, Oregon.

Chorneau's work is found in several public North Carolina collections, including The Mint Museum of Charlotte and Duke University Hospital in Durham. In 2023, The Art Cellar Gallery of Banner Elk mounted an exhibition of Chorneau's work.
