Neil Bromley studied art at college for six years, graduating with an H.N.D. in Calligraphy and Heraldry at Reigate School of Art in 1995. Whilst studying at Reigate he was awarded two bursaries from the Worshipful Company of Scriveners and the Company of Painters/Stainers.
Neil lives in Devon and has established himself in Exeter as an Heraldic Artist and Illuminator. He is a member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
Neil is an elected Craft Member of the Society of Heraldic Arts.
His work includes paintings of full coats of arms, honorary scrolls and grants of arms. He also produces heraldic work for reproduction, calligraphic work, and the reproduction of medieval manuscript pages.
All work is produced on vellum. He uses 23.5K gold leaf and gesso where possible as well as shell Gold along with other medieval techniques. The durable quality of his materials ensures that the documents will last for a long time and are finished to the best possible standard.
Neil attended the 2006 Genealogical and Heraldic Congress in St. Andrews (Scotland) and was awarded the Barden Prize for outstanding work.
He is currently designing coins for Westminster collection as well as other ongoing private commissions.

These marketing bursaries are awarded annually to selected students of the City & Guilds of London School of Art who have shown a particular ability to design and create beautiful heraldry.
The bursary is designed to assist these talented new artists to establish a presence in the international heraldic marketplace.
The bursary consists of:
- Associate Craft Membership for two years.
- A presence on the SHA website for two years
- One to one mentoring by an established Craft Members of the SHA in marketing and sales of work
- Assistance in publicising work already done in the quarterly journal The Heraldic Craftsman.
The selection of Bursary winners is the responsibility of the City & Guilds of London School of Art which will then pass on the administration of the scheme to the Hon Editor in the first instance.
Tim Crawley, head of historic carving at the School says: ‘This is an imaginative and potentially valuable, practical assistance at a critical moment in a student’s career. The SHA is to be commended on this initiative.’

My initial training was in graphic design. I then spent two years at Reigate School of Art studying heraldic art and calligraphy. I have a special interest in producing art-work for reproduction such as heraldic logo designs. I endeavour to produce simple and clear work in an original style, while maintaining the best traditions of heraldic art.
