Raymond Moench, an apprentice to John Walsted, has been an advertising comercial artist, a furniture painter, a mural and stature painter and designer, and a drawing teacher at the Snug Harbor Art Lab, the Todt Hill Community Center, and the College of Staten Island.

Raymond has had his work exhibited at Mauro Graphics, the Conference House, the Staten Island Zoo, and the Newhouse Gallery, all on Staten Island, and the Federal Plaza Exhibit and the W. R. Grace Building in New York City. He has been a member of the Staten Island Federation of Artists and Craftsmen, and his work has won awards from the College of Staten Island Options Program, The Staten Island Museum Section of Art, and the Conference house Association Art Show. Steve Breslow of the Staten Island Advance said, "Moench's work, like many of his predecessors in the Surrealist Movement, is saturated with meaning and implication, some might say with a literary, or narrative, sensibility."

Raymond Moench's art has been collected by St. Nicholas Church, where he has been commissioned to paint a statue of St. Nicholas, and Holy Rosary Church, where he has been commissioned to paint a memorial to the founding priests Fr. Appofanio and Fr. Forestta, both in Staten Island, by the sculptor Madeline Cretella of Staten Island, by Dr. Peter Bullough, the Head Surgeon at New York Hospital in Manhattan, by Daniel Werner, the Director of the Newhouse Gallery in Staten Island, and the New York Public Library, which owns etchings purchased and donated by Virginia M. Trautman.
