ABOUT CAREY CHEN

A genuine master of his craft, Carey Chen is gaining worldwide attention for his unparalleled portraits of life at sea. Chen’s fascinating use of colors and his knack for capturing detail has catapulted him to the forefront of the marine art industry. The incredible blend of colors and exquisite detail are the trademark of each Carey Chen masterpiece. Although brilliance exudes from his work, painting is the latest endeavor in a life full of adventures.

 

Chen found time each year to return to his hometown of Jamaica fishing the annual Port Antonio Blue Marlin Tournament where he helped mate on several of the top sport fishing boats. In 1987,1988 and 1989 Chen fished on three different boats, helping bring home the first-place trophy each year. With over 300 blue marlin releases to date, Chen has captured the beauty of game fish in their natural habitat.

 

With his photographic archive expanding, Chen began to sketch his memories on paper. Pleased with the initial result, Chen then experimented with acrylic paints on canvas. With each painting Chen’s skills got sharper. In an effort to test his talents, Chen donated his paintings to various tournaments as prizes. Although he was at the early stages of his art career, Chen’s art was well received inspiring him to continue painting.
