James Blomfield
James Jervis Blomfield (1879-1951) was an English-born Canadian artist and designer. He is best known for his design of the coat of arms of Vancouver and as a pioneer in the field of stained glass art in Canada, with an extensive body of works completed in British Columbia and Ontario, including the Beechwood Cemetery Mausoleum in Canada's national cemetery in Ottawa. He lived in Toronto for the last 30 years of his life.
==Background==
He was born James Alfred Bloomfield in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England. The middle name he added from his mother's maiden name later in life when he also dropped the second 'o' in Bloomfield.〔 Blomfield is frequently identified in auction literature as James Jerris Blomfield. The editor has communicated with Mr. Underhill who asserts that is incorrect and probably results from a transcription error where the 'v' in Jervis was mistaken for an 'r'. As noted in the text, the name comes from the artist's mother's maiden name.〕 He moved to Canada with his family after working for a period of time as a junior draftsman. He had been born deaf. In Canada he studied painting and engraving in Calgary, Alberta (1887, 1889).〔 His father Henry Bloomfield was an artist and engraver and the family lived in Calgary before settling in New Westminster, British Columbia. There in 1890, Henry established the first art glass studio in British Columbia which he ran with his sons James and Charles, later moving the operation to Vancouver in 1899. James Blomfield attracted the attention of Lord Aberdeen who paid for his art education in England and Belgium.〔Colin S. MacDonald, "(A Dictionary of Canadian Artists )."〕
