artist biography
As a young child, Eddie Ching remembers his father, who is also a trained artist, painting large landscapes in oil.
In grade school Eddie regularly drew on the smooth surface of his desk with pencil. "I can still remember the teacher complimenting the desktop drawings. She did however, regularly have me spray clean it all. Which I happily carried out, albeit sometimes pausing to have one last look."
Eddie earned a BFA degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in Painting from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1990. There he studied under James Hendricks, John Roy, Hanlon Davies, and John Grillo. During the summer of 1989 Eddie Ching participated in an Italian Summer art program in Italy with John Roy presiding in which he won the "best portfolio award."
After graduating Eddie Ching worked and exhibited in different locations including Key West, Vienna Austria, Boston MA, Marthas Vineyard MA, Medellin Colombia, and now New York City. Countless collectors along the way have bought his works including, Dolores and Mel Fisher founder of the Maritime Heritage Society & Historical Museum in Key West, Florida.
