Artist Teo Lay Lam

Born and bred in Singapore, Lay Lam is a zoologist by training and a botanical artist by accident. It was in 2002 when the family was residing in Sydney that she stumbled upon this art form. Not having any formal art training, she decided to enrol in a painting class at the community centre and the only class that suited her 'free' day was botanical water colour painting

She paints with a technical skill that speaks of her scientific background. Her paintings are technically accurate in size, colour, texture and details. Her works are produced with painstaking efforts for she is a perfectionist about capturing the different and subtle nuances of plants in nature. Each painting takes an average of 40-50 hours to complete.

She is a member of the Botanical Art Society of Australia (BASA) and had exhibited with them annually whilst she was resident there. In the 2004 Annual BASA Exhibition, her painting 'Strelitzia nicolai' (the Snow or Giant Bird-of-Paradise) won an Honourable Mention at the Ewart Gallery in Sydney. In the 2005 exhibition, her 'Saracenia sp' was named 'Highly Commended'.

She now lives in Singapore with her husband, Allen, her children, Colin, Julian, Leann and her Shiba Inu, Nikko.
