by artist Teresa Tan A setting sun washes the sky in a red glow, signalling the approaching dusk and eventual nightfall. Medium: Chinese Ink Size: 85cm (height) x 73cm (width) Framed: Yes About Teresa Tan Teresa has always enjoyed painting, but she only discovered her artistic gift after being struck with her disability. She began her journey as an artist through art lessons conducted at the Handicaps Welfare Association and continues to attend classes today to further develop and refine her painting skills. Her style, which she describes as “Elaborate Art,” requires significant skill and concentration, involving the careful application of multiple layers of paint to achieve the final composition. Working on her art gives her a strong sense of achievement and also provides a meaningful way to stay connected with the world around her. Teresa is also a two-time winner of the UOL x ART:DIS Art Prize, receiving the Highly Commended award in both 2023 and 2025, recognising her consistent artistic growth and excellence.
