3:17Now PlayingDespite an 86-year age difference, an unlikely friendship blossomed between centenarian Peggy Muller and teenage refugee Hasinah Zainal, who is painting a portrait for an art project that teams up young artists with the older generation.
The pair were brought together by a special art project that united 100 teenage artists with 100 of Queensland's oldest residents.
The teens are painting or drawing portraits of the senior citizens and the project has resulted in friendships across generations.
Centenarian Peggy Muller and 15-year-old Hasinah Zainal have been meeting every week for the past couple of months in Ms Muller's unit.
"She's an amazing girl — it's been lovely meeting with her … we talk, we play games … I think she's a very inspiring young girl," Ms Muller said.
The feeling is obviously mutual, as Hasinah's face lights up when she talks about her new friend, who she was sketching in pencil.
"I feel very lucky to be hanging out with Peggy," she said.
"I'm just waiting all week for Saturdays and Sundays to go and meet Peggy … she's a really good friend now."
