The aim of my heraldic art is to transmit the life force and free expression of a coat of arms - the blend of ideals and the history of its bearer. The creation is drawn by hand and the resulting image is then enhanced by a unique combination of digital imaging procedures. I have emblazoned heraldic devices for individuals, businesses, associations, religious orders and universities from countries like Angola, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Benin, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Dubai, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Uganda, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela,... I am Member of the Society of Heraldic Arts, Fellow of the Genealogical Society of Ireland, and I hold a PhD cum laude, two Masters degree, a Specialization and an Academic Grade from four different universities.
