Martin Chiu was born and raised in Chiayi, Taiwan.
He graduated from the National Taiwan Academy of
Arts (now the National Taiwan College of Arts.) As a
retired private high school art teacher, after 40 years
of teaching, he owns a studio where he still tutors
students who seek admission into art schools and
dental schools. His expertise is in landscape
watercolor paintings and sculpturing. His latest
passion is doing watercolor portraits for pets and

painting, sketching natural scenery, photography,
sculpturing and travelling. He speaks Taiwanese,

Chiang Kai-sheik to be the sole decorator for the
President's church for Christmas from 1970 – 1972.
