The
arms were one of the
last designed by the
late Sir Peter
Gwynn-Jones, prior to
his retirement as Garter
King of Arms in March
2010. The mermaid
represents the fantasy
of the dynamic
unconscious, and relates
to the armigers
profession as a
psychoanalyst and
psychiatrist. The crown
is the symbol of St
Stephen, and represents
the surname Stevenson.
Lotus flowers suggest
the possibility of
spiritual
transformation, themes
of the armiger’s
theological education,
practice of tai chi, and
painting of icons and
retablos. As the armiger
has never married, her
arms are displayed on a
lozenge, topped by a
true lover’s knot of
blue ribbon.
The badge was suggested
by Sir Peter based on
images in one of the
armigers paintings, and
is an example of the
whimsy and elegance he
brought to his art.
