Raymond Ching was born in Wellington, 1939. Now living in the United Kingdom he is one of the world's most acclaimed wildlife artists. His ability to depict texture from the softness of feathers, to the luminosity of water, is remarkable. Capturing the quick silver character of a bird, the delicacy of its plumage, as well as his translation of feather into paint, spotlights the very essence of the subject. These are the aspects of his work that have attracted international acclaim.
