The Spirit of True Love!
From A Dedicated Icon Painter and Writer
Mary Jane Miller, an icon painter and writer and one of the most compelling modern iconographers of the modern world. She is known for her contemporary sacred art collection.
She describes each of her icon paintings as a visual meditation, a process by which she finds answers to the eternal questions she constantly asks herself.
The Sacred Art collection reflects modern life through modern icon painting techniques. Yet, her painting process is rooted in ancient traditional rules of iconography as an icon painter and writer, she often finds her inspiration in the works of the ancient Byzantine iconography painters of Russia, Greece and Eastern Europe.

Our icon painting courses highlight the contemplative experience through sacred icon art.
Come celebrate your distinct spiritual and artistic ability. Anyone can draw on their very own intimate and spiritual selves and create a visual expression of who they are.
“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 spirit, we just need to reflect long enough to hear the message.”
In The Studio, San Miguel Allende
We offer ongoing three week icon paint workshops in the Studio in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The week days are determined group by group since it is difficult to find time and organize all our schedules.
For private classes and online consultations contact me.
Books
Get ready to embark on a journey through iconography, a visual voyage through the eyes of Mary Jane Miller and her process of creating art, iconography and spiritual journeys. Get to know historical protagonists through Miller's visual representations.
The Sacred Art books and artistic collection are not about achieving perfection but about envisioning what is in your heart.
The spiritual imagery Miller has created in her icon books offer contemporary thoughts, but these ideas rely on the roots the old-world archetypal experience and an understanding of the human experience.
Within their pages, you will encounter icon painted images representing delightful meditations and ancient stories
Through her books, Mary Jane is preserving the icon technique and its tradition as some the finest religious art ever created. Icons strive to reveal the beauty of humankind and our potential to see the divine in all things.
