Torren Whisson Portrait of a war veteran

Age 14

13-15 year olds

This portrait depicts war veteran Herbert Harrison, who served in the Korean War. This piece is part of a bigger project where 40 Australian war veterans had their portraits produced by local Western Australian artists as part of the 2017 Anzac commemorations. This piece is to honour those who fought for our country and the sacrifices they made for our freedom.
