Teresa is a 24 years old Artist/Illustrator from Singapore.
Many of you may know her as @teeteeheehee on Instagram.
You might have also met her at the live drawing sessions that she does at craft fleas and exhibitions.
I first took notice of Teresa when she collaborated with YESAH,
there was something so unique about her drawings!

It wasn't long before I started paying attention to her works and talking about it with friends.
Naturally, while discussing about another episode of 30 Minutes Breather, I showed T her work.
For a long time, we were hesitant about approaching her because this project has always been about
people who have a hobby apart from their full-time job -
which is why we don't really feature the many talented artist/musicians/designers in Singapore.

Eventually, we decided that we wouldn't approach her.
Of course, fate has a funny way of bringing people together.
When The Local People Market happened some time back,
we chanced upon Teresa's live drawing booth while squishing through the sweaty crowd.
T immediately nudged me and said 'We should feature her!'
and well, I couldn't disagree because she was really good at what she did.
So after a few emails and finally meeting up at Starbucks, I finally had the opportunity to meet her.
There, I made my discovery and realised that we were indeed a perfect match!
You see, Teresa actually teaches Violin and freelances as an illustrator.
Her breather is really just capturing all these interesting characters she meets
and imagines into her embroidery.
These girls you see in her works all have a story,
some may be people she while getting somewhere while others are based on interesting characters
in books and movies.
We had such a great time doing this video because there was so many stories to listen to!
This time, the music choice is really special cause it was the same song that was playing when we shot this. :)
Memories.
