Saint Finbarr's School Byron Bay, NSW Australia

Rachael from class 1/2D at Saint Finbarr's shows off her hand painted Zaishu the day before she takes it to school to present to class mates for news. She is joined by her able assistant, communications director and sometimes brother, Damian (class k). Her Zaishu features a happy flower, a hilly landscape, a mushroom and a night sky all painted furiously in acrylic. It was then put together with ease and it has taken her much longer to decide which face she likes most than it took to actually paint it. " I think I like the mushroom best.. " she says, " Zaishu is cool! "
