Munro combines digital technology with painting to explore the spatial aspects and manual creation of the work.[3] She has created large scale sculptures, but her more recent series Trade Items uses embroidery to reference a 1769 sketch by Tupaia, a Tahitian navigator on Captain Cook's voyages, exploring themes of environmental impacts and cultural significance of trade.[4]
Munro's work is featured in the James Wallace Trust Collection, University of Auckland Art Collection, Hocken Collection, and the Real Art Road-Show Trust Collection.
