Climb the stairs into Chelsey Teale’s cozy home studio and you’ll find a huge paint-splattered work table, what looks like hundreds of thriving indoor plants, and a trusty chihuahua sidekick. Her mission? To show all Sydneysiders that everyone can be creative!
For Chelsey, it all started by throwing paint at a canvas after work. Both cathartic and joyful she soon said goodbye to her nine-to-five and started selling her artworks and teaching regular fluid and resin art classes on the side.
Ready to jump into fluid art and have some fun? Choose your favourite colours, pour them on a canvas and let your creative intuition guide you!
The first artwork I ever made was…
“For my friend. It was her birthday and I hadn't bought her a gift and my artsy friend suggested I make her something. I said I don't know how and he said, just try. I made this awesome thing and it was still wet when I had it framed and gave it to her, but she loved it!”

The best thing about making art is…
“The emotion that goes with it. When you make art, you're pouring some of yourself into it. Which is really vulnerable and it can be really hard to express that and then to share it as well is just a whole different ballpark.”

Seeing beginners make art for the first time is…
“My favourite — I absolutely love it. Teaching is so much fun because your students have an interest in it and want to learn. Every time I teach someone, I get to experience that again for the first time. It's a really nice exchange of energy in the room when everyone's so stoked to be making something.”
When you start paint pouring…
“You're going to have fun. It's not about the end result. It's just about having fun with it, letting go and not setting high expectations.”
You’ll leave my class feeling…
“Inspired and confident. I always try to push that for my students who don’t think they have a creative bone in their body. I want to silence that self-doubt and help them believe in themselves more. I want to make people feel good because when other people feel good, I feel good.”
Art feels good because you can…
“Let everything out, any type of thing. If you're learning and evolving and progressing, definitely jump into that. You just feel good afterwards. Every time I make something, even if it sucks, I'm always happy that I put the time aside to do that.”
