LEWIS H. LEUNG
 

Trained as a designer at an art institute in Hong Kong and later earning a degree in advertising from the University of Minnesota, Lewis brings over 40 years of experience as a graphic designer, illustrator, and visual journalist. Following a 30-year career in visual journalism in the U.S., his creative path took an unexpected turn—from mushroom foraging and making spore prints for identification to developing a rare and fascinating fine art practice.

​

Using delicate, powder-like fungal spores—something rarely seen in the art world—Lewis creates intricate, surreal compositions layered with organic materials like leaves and roots. His work blends natural textures with digital color transformations, resulting in pieces that are both visually striking and deeply conceptual. Quirky yet contemplative, his art invites viewers into a world that feels at once grounded in nature and entirely otherworldly.

​

Lewis subsequently set up a home-based studio, Sporesart, in June, 2024. Then applied to many art fairs locally, with the hope of breaking into the norm of the art world. His art has been well-received in art fairs such as the Stone Arch Bridge Festival, City of Lakes Art Fair, and a few others, which he participated in over the last twelve months. 

​

The way he sees his work in retrospect, “the medium is unique, and exhilarating with surprises.” He calls it a miraculous fungi journey. It is simply “sporestacular!”
