Heraldry in Canada by Steve Cowan
Heraldry in Canada by Steve Cowan, Heraldic Artisan, C.D., U.E., of Comox, BC.
Zoom presentation only.
Join us as Steve Cowan introduces us to heraldry in Canada with examples of early heraldry going back as far as his U.E. relatives from the American colonies. His presentation includes lots of images and colour from his own works.
After retiring from a career in the air industry Steve pursued his interest in art and painting. He expanded his work into heraldic arts and crafts. From 2012 he has helped clients to design their coats of arms, making digital images of customer heraldry, and making heraldic wall shields, table shields, plaques and bookends.
Steve recently retired as president of the BC/Yukon Branch of the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada, after 10 years of leading the branch. His interests also include genealogy, especially delving into the military history of his family. www.stevecowan.ca
