“So, I decided to spread the joy by bringing fluid art to the elderly at a nursing home. Celebrating my birthday with those adorable grandmas and grandpas was truly meaningful,” she says. “Most of the residents were in their 70s and 80s and when they knew it was my birthday, they were so touched that I had chosen to spend the day with them. It was a new and first time experience for them, and I felt blessed too,” she adds.
“Don’t wait till it’s too late,” she says, revealing that her grandmother passed away during the pandemic because of depression. She was depressed for many months and it affected her health. She became very ill and all the sicknesses suddenly started to come out,” she adds. “Sadly, many of them are just sent off to the old folks/nursing home where they spend their time, waiting to pass on.
“I don’t have a background in art and didn’t graduate from any art college. I can’t sketch, draw or paint, but I’ve always appreciated art since young.” “What I like about fluid art is no art background or experience is required. There are no rules because there’s no right or wrong, nor good or bad. It’s subjective and based on personal taste,” she says.
“Fluid art has taught me to accept what we cannot change, like when the art is completed, we can’t change the outcome, we just have to accept it. The more you try to control it, the more frustrated you’ll become. Teo says she gets her inspiration from life and people, particularly her Grandma who raised her when her Mum was working outstation.

For others, it takes some time and effort to discover their talent.”“In the same way, we all have something precious within us. Everyone has a hidden talent, you’ve just got to find it.
Teo conducted her second free fluid art workshop for seniors at Tsutaya Books Malaysia, Pavilion Bukit Jalil on Apr 13.
