Born and educated in Hong Kong, Peter has been working as a full-time painter in Toronto , Canada since 1996. He is the founding member and former instructor at the Hong Kong Institute of Visual Art. Peter has won numerous awards for his work in advertising and oil paintings. A strong background in graphic design has led him to develop a style of painting that is rich in color and reveals a strong balance of form and composition.

Peter's previous subject matters ranged widely from traditional still-lifes to various landscapes and floral.  Now Peter paints houses to represent people.  The houses often have small windows as eyes and without doors to signify modern man's need for privacy.  They are sometimes characterized as family members, lovers, husband and wife or friends.  Houses as characters of people are arranged in a stage setting composition, which is sometimes warm and peaceful, representing an ideal home environment.  Conversely, a darker or disturbed background suggesting the turmoil they may face in life, then find how strongly they bond together to tackle problems and how much they love one another.
