- On Active Service - A painting full of memories, emotion and nostalgia, "On Active Service" features an edition of The New Zealand Herald as it lays folded on a cream tablecloth. The paper symbolizes the news of the day. A pair of horn-rimmed glasses sit on a much-read letter - the lenses magnifying the handwriting of an ANZAC serviceman. (Australian and New Zealand Army Corp). A cracked and aged sepia photograph of the author lays alongside his letter. This painting symbolizes two perspectives: the serviceman and the family waiting at home for his return.
