Early life
Greatly inspired by his creative family, surroundings, and nature; he studied traditional Japanese landscape, bonsai, and horticulture under Japanese Bonsai Masters, John Naka, Kunatoshi Akabane, and Yutaka Kimura. At age 11, he was chosen to have one of his bonsai trees included in the prestigious National Cherry Blossom Festival Bonsai Show in San Francisco. By the age of 15 he was the youngest artist to be selected to paint one of the Hearts in San Francisco, benefiting the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation. Chin had been an assistant to American Painter Raymond Saunders from 2006 till 2013.
Work
He has actively been working to expand the Oakland Art Murmur (Oakland's First Friday Event) through increased awareness of art and bringing in the work of both established, emerging, local, and international artists.
