Mountain bluebird
Crest and mantling of Kimberly Louise Severson
Gyronny Azure and Argent, on a hurt, a triquetra Argent; a bordure Sable. Crest: Upon a helm with a wreath Argent and Azure, a mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides) volant proper. Mantling: Azure doubled Argent.
Coat of arms interpreted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a pointed outer contour and with a rough finish.
Design rationale
These arms communicate several aspects of the armiger's identity, including her Christian faith, her participation in music, particularly vocal music, and her love of art and writing. The «Triquetra», more commonly known as the «Celtic Trinity knot», alludes to the Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Azure and Argent, the armiger's favourite colours, symbolize spirituality and purity. The mountain bluebird represents vocal music through its song, while its feathers also evoke the quills traditionally associated with art and writing. The bordure Sable symbolizes a safe and protected space.

The arms of Kimberly Louise Severson designed by her and emblazoned by me. The photograph shows two stages in the development of the crest depicting a mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides) volant proper. The upper part of the image presents the finished digital rendering, including the coat of arms and crest in their final painted form. The translucent tracing paper visible beneath shows two hand-drawn versions of the mountain bluebird used during the design process, the second drawn over the first. As may be observed, some elements of the final mountain bluebird, particularly the rear tail feathers, were completed digitally after the hand-drawn stage.
