When Ruby Fleming designed a mural for the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre she had to include Ruapehu - part of her heritage as well as Whanganui s.
The mural shows Papatūānuku, the Māori earth mother, in a Whanganui landscape with the mountain behind. The Artists Open Studios public is invited to its launch and blessing, at 1pm at the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre on March 20.
