No. 94 HRH Princess Michael of Kent


Unfortunately like so much of my work, I cannot show the document I painted for Princess Michael whilst I was Herald Painter to the British Association of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta.  However, I can show the library painting I painted for her home which is based on the arms I painted on the document. She is a very gracious, elegant and strong lady. I wanted to reflect these traits in her shield of arms. Princess Michael later helped me with a project that was very close to my heart for which I remain extremely grateful.
