BIOGRAPHY
Photographer Paul Ng was born near Guangzhou, Guangdong Province in China. Just when political turmoil began to heat up before the infamous Cultural Revolution, he moved to Hong Kong, then a British colony, where he completed his junior high and high school education. In 1971, Paul enrolled as a freshman at Memphis State University (now known as University of Memphis), Memphis, Tennessee, where he finished with a bachelor’s degree in biology. He began his graduate studies in the field of environmental health at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee in 1977. Upon completion of a graduate degree in 1979, Paul started working for the Wyoming State Health Department in the District One Office in Green River, WY in January, 1980. After fifteen years with the state government, Paul switched to a similar position with the Sweetwater County Health Department, also in Green River, in 1995.
Paul took his first class in photography at the Western Wyoming Community College in the summer of 1987. Large format photography became his mainstay in 1991. He works in both black and white and color. Paul has also studied black and white printing and dark room techniques with John Sexton, who was Ansel Adams’ assistant and consultant until Adams’ death in 1984. Paul prints many of his color images, mostly with Ilfochrome (formerly Cibachrome) materials and all his works in black and white. Paul has been teaching evening credit-classes in photography at Western Wyoming Community College since the fall semester of 2002.
Ng’s images have been published in Outdoor Photographer, Shutterbug, Wyoming Wildlife, American West, Hong Kong’s Fotoarts and Photog magazines. He has numerous one-person and group exhibitions in local libraries, Sweetwater County Fine Arts Center, Old West Museum (Cheyenne, WY), Larson Gallery(Yakima, Washington) and the Wyoming Art Council Gallery in Cheyenne, WY. He was one of the two Honorable Mention Award recipients in the Visual Arts Fellowship competition organized by the Wyoming Art Council in the year of 2002.
Paul’s works have been collected by many private collectors as well as organizations such as the University of Wyoming Student Union, the Convention Center in Laramie, and the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne.
