By 1961, his fishing villages and coastal community scenes had become a sensation in art circles, and the leading art gallery of Hong Kong started to represent his art. H. Leung began travel for exhibition of his oils all over the world, and he received numerous honors and distinctions in many countries. In 1978, he became a resident of the United States and a legal citizen the year after. He settles down in the San Francisco Bay Area as one of his home. Today, H. Leung exhibits his artwork at prestigious art galleries not only in the United States but throughout the world. His first images were published in 1961, and since then demand for his limited editions has steadily increased in the United States as well as in Europe and Asia. H.
