Andrew Jamieson has done spectacular work in the heraldic painting area for me personally and in the history room at my country estate. One couldn’t want a higher level of excellence as well as timeliness. Andrew has the highest level of mastery of his craft.

Andrew Jamieson’s beautiful and highly imaginative design for the invitation to the coronation in 2023 enjoyed international coverage and was universally praised. More recently I have introduced him to several people who are entitled to a coat of arms. The consistent feedback is that he is charming and easy to work with; that his designs are highly imaginative and well-tuned to the needs of his clients, and that his work is extraordinarily beautiful and refined.

We went to Andrew Jamieson with a special project: to display the newly-granted
coat of arms of New College as a decorative highlight of the College’s Grade 1 Listed Rainy
Hall. This project, part of the 175 th anniversary celebrations of our building, engaged all our
staff and students. Andrew suggested a tapestry wall-hanging as most suitable for the
location – something we had not thought of but immediately recognised as a brilliant idea.
Andrew worked creatively with us to finalise the design, which included not only our coat of
arms, beautifully rendered in a large central panel, but also a decorative border that drew
on the history and traditions of our academic community. The project ran to a tight
schedule, and at every stage Andrew delivered as promised. He is a stellar heraldic artist, a
sensitive and patient interpreter of his clients’ interests, and altogether a delight to work
with. We are thrilled by the final product, and so pleased we asked Andrew to undertake
this commission.

Andrew,
Thank you so much for the beautiful work on the piece for Bishop Barron….he absolutely loved it and talked about it on his podcast which has a tremendous following. I don’t think he mentioned your name, but he said it was the best gift he has ever received…and he gets many honorary things. I also received an email from someone telling me that she as at the award ceremony and now her life’s goal is to do something important enough to received and hand made illuminated page like Bishop Barron! So beauty is indeed inspiring others.

I have finally been able to lay my eyes upon your work. It is truly something in person. Not only are the colours and detail so much richer, but the packaging and embossing… I feel like I treated myself to something special.
Thank you very much.
Thomas Mumby, Deputy Lieutenant of Rutland
