He was born in Canton, China and received his formal training and degree from Canton Fine Art University, Canton, China. Beginning in 1972 he spent the next two years exhibiting his work in major cities throughout China and received many national awards. In 1974 Henry Peeters / Hing Biu became an art director and set designer for a prominent film studio. In 1978 he moved to the United States where he found immediate representation with a prominent US based art gallery.

The artists's chosen subjects were realistically depicted cityscapes and interior scenes in the style of Edward Hopper, whom he greatly admires. At the time he was using his given name, Hing Biu, found that his paintings were well received and sought after by collectors.

Moving from the flat surface of his realistic paintings, Hing Biu / Henry Peeters gradually began working with various palette knife techniques to develop his current style of impasto, impressionist painting. Initially reluctant to sign his own name for fear that the public would not agree to the idea that an artist could work in two such different styles, he chose a name to apply to these works that would soon out shadow his own: Henry Peeters.
