About Me
- Patrick Ching
- Waimanalo, Hawaii, United States
- Hawaii artist Patrick Ching is one of the most internationally acclaimed nature artists in the world. Patrick grew up in the lush valleys of Pauoa and later Moanalua. He loved to camp in the wilderness communicating with his family using only homing pigeons. After years of volunteering with various wildlife organizations, Patrick became a ranger for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service at the Kilauea Point National Wildlife refuge on Kaua’i. Ching spent months at a time in field camps working to protect endangered species such as monk seals, seabirds and turtles. He produced many award winning books including “The Hawaiian Monk Seal” and “Sea Turtles of Hawaii.” Traversing Hawaii’s most remote rainforests, Patrick carefully studied native plants and animals which most of the world has never seen. In 1985 he was dropped by helicopter into the Hanawi rainforest on slopes of Haleakala Volcano, to observe the only nest ever found of the world’s rarest bird the Po’ouli. Ching spent weeks in constant wetness watching the birds twelve hours a day to create “Soul Provider” the most accurately detailed painting ever done of this species.
