“When you walk along the Boulevard, you feel relaxed and at peace, especially on a nice warm day when you can sit on a bench for a while. When I started working on this print, I was thinking mainly how to capture the continued pathway up the center of the Boulevard. When I saw the elegant 1908 historical plan of Grand Boulevard in the North Vancouver Museum & Archives, I thought that it showed what I wanted to convey - a bird’s eye view of the area. Roots, veined skeleton leaves and bird silhouettes symbolize the natural forms found in the area. Urban density has changed the Boulevard, but thankfully the sense of serenity and grace remains.” - Jean Morrison
