Colourful gift for Warkworth

A colourful mural on the side of the Chocolate Brown building in Mill Lane has been described as a “gift to Warkworth” from the building’s owners, Andy and the late Glenys Tucker. The mural, by son and daughter-in-law Craig and Nic Tucker, took 70 hours to complete. “After spending many years travelling the world immersing themselves in art and culture, Andy and Glenys wanted to celebrate their own small piece of heaven, Warkworth, with the world as they pass through our streets,” Nic says. “The large kowhai flowers represent our coast and festival, the birds our song and the building great success from small beginnings.” Nic and Craig are both working artists, based in Napier.
