NO matter how cloudy it gets, mountain peaks are always part of the scenery in Edgemont Village thanks to the artistry of one Handsworth secondary grad.
Helen Theilmann's series of four banners depicting mountains stretching to the sky in spring, summer, winter and fall are now adorning lampposts in Edgemont Village.
The boldly coloured designs captured top prize last year at Handsworth's graphic arts student competition when Theilmann was in Grade 12.
"This is a really innovative way to get some great banners and involve the community," said District of North Vancouver spokeswoman Jeanine Bratina of the competition.
Theilmann's designs replace the worn banners that were erected in the early 1980s.
"These colourful banners will definitely add to the Village's appeal as a visitor destination and community gathering spot," stated District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton in a press release.
The banners will be augmented by upgraded LED lighting, according to the release.
Theilmann now studies graphic arts at Vancouver Island University.
