Kue King was born Ronald Sunga Reyes on January 17, 1981, in the
City of
Olongapo in the
province of
Zambales,
Philippines. Youngest of six from a first generation
Asian American family, Reyes lived in
Olongapo until age seven, when his parents (Maria Teresa Sunga Reyes and Camillo Reyes) moved to
Jacksonville, Florida where he spent the next seventeen years of his life. Although a
photography major at the Douglas Anderson School of Arts, it was here that he started pursuing his artistic interests, whilst frequently travelling and furnishing an image of a lebenskünstler. At the age of 24, he moved from
Florida to
Hawaii, where he received awards (for a best show, a second and a first place for an artwork) for three consecutive years by the East Hawaii Cultural Center. At age 29 he moved to
San Francisco; he has been travelling ever since. ==Work==
