Background to mural creation:
The Hub of Renwick is a new business operating in the small town of Renwick, a town of approximately 2000-3000 people situated in the heart of the Marlborough wine country. The Hub saw a need within their community to market the local interests, themselves in particular with their newly formed tourist operation and jet boat tours on the Wairau River. The Hub also run a visitor centre independent of any other information centre including taking bookings for many local attractions, plus they run an art and craft gallery featuring artists from the local area. Summer has captured all of these activities in her mural work together with showing off the beauty of the area.

The mural, the first ever completed by artist Summer, features a wheel on the wall with activities that can be enjoyed in Marlborough depicted between each spoke and is designed to attract visitors to the information centre and art gallery and to brighten up Renwick.

The finished mural has brightened up Renwick considerably, so much so that the tenants in the next office have approached Summer to do some work on their wall.

The business now plans to use the mural in its marketing materials.
