Painting: Child Holds, "Falun Dafa is Good" Banner

The artist, Ms. Zhang Cuiying, is an internationally acclaimed Chinese artist living in Australia. From an early age, Ms. Zhang was nurtured and taught by well-known Chinese masters, in the respected discipline of traditional Chinese brush painting. Her works have been extensively published throughout China. One of many honors includes the Asia-Pacific Gold Medal for Chinese Calligraphy and Painting.

Ms. Zhang is an Australia Citizen, and has been a tireless ambassador for human rights, since the conclusion of her eight-month long experience of torture and incarceration in Chinese prisons, for peacefully appealing the communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong.

Ms. Zhang stated, "It is my wish that my art will convey to every viewer the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance". Her work is dedicated to the unalienable right of the individual to freedom and justice worldwide, and is testimony to the highest expression of the human spirit.

Zhang Cuiying has travelled to over 40 countries and 100 cities to exhibit her paintings and tell her story. Ms. Zhang hopes, "I will continue these worldwide art exhibitions. I hope people can clearly understand Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance in Falun Dafa through my experiences of being persecuted, as well as the inner beauty revealed from my art works."
