Cheryl Teo & Geylang East Home for the Aged

Artist

Cheryl Teo is a Singapore based paper artist and illustrator who runs LULO Paper Studio. She is drawn to the tactile nature of paper and the meticulous process of creating playful sculptures out of paper. Her work often involves colourful representations of objects and explores scenes of everyday life with whimsy. As an artist, she has always been interested in working on community-based art projects. She enjoys seeing meaningful conversations or stories arise through tactile art making. She was commissioned with an Arts & Health grant by JurongHealth in 2015. She has been featured in local and international publications such as The Business Times Singapore, Frankie Magazine Australia, Flow Magazine France and Storm Media Taiwan.
