Artist Statement
Mary Jane Miller has been designing and publishing more women in icons, byzantine style iconography with a contemporary twist. Icons have a visual force of their own, a truth to convey, a beauty to be revealed and finally a message. Her love of spiritual art and modern iconography captivates viewers and engages them in exploring the idea of using art and meditation to express their spiritual language. She especially focuses on the women in iconography and through her hand, calls on their unheard voices to voice their wisdom and love.

As an icon painter, her wealth of insight is shared through what has been a male-dominated tradition. "I have come to see the world as a metaphor, nearly everything which happens to us is screaming to be understood through the eye of the spirit, we just need to reflect long enough to hear the message".
The beauty of iconography and egg tempera technique is worth preserving. 5-day intense workshops classes available. check Mary Jane Miller for update schedule http://www.sanmiguelicons.com. Books are available on Amazon and lulu.com
