Raymond Nordwall is of Pawnee, Ojibwe, and Cherokee heritage. He is the son of an Oklahoma ceremonial pipe maker and great grandson of Ram Chief, a renowned turn-of-the-century Pawnee religious leader. He grew up in Oklahoma where he became linked to the culture. He began his studies at the age of fourteen under renowned artist Johnny Tiger, Jr. and later attended the American Indian Arts Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico, graduating with honors. He also studied at Bacone College in Muskogee. He later studied with Santa Fe artist Frank Howell.
Nordwall was featured in art publications such as Southwest Art, Art of the West, and Cowboys and Indians.
He is well-known for his contemporary, colorist depictions of Native American warriors and wildlife. Every detail of the subjects' outfits and accouterments is meticulously researched by the artist, resulting in perfect historical accuracy in the finished piece.

In 1994 a series of his pictures were subjects of a Landmark Calendar. Many of his paintings have been purchased by SOAR records for the covers of CDs.
