Repouse and Egg Tempera

Valentin Gomez, my spouse and I are both self-taught iconographers and have been quietly working together for 26 years. Valentin's work in hand tooled pewter is called the repousé technique. His master craftsmenship fits perfectly to my hand painted original Byzantine style icons. The techniques of Repouse and egg tempera are a perfect marrige. Our studio is open to visitors in San Miguel Allende, Mexico. Our dream is to add a few new Icons to those existing in the world, hoping that this great sacred art tradition will continue in liturgy and prayer for a long time to come.

Gallery of Contemporary Icon Paintings
Mary Jane Miller has been working on a new collection of contemporary icons called On Holy Ground. The work focuses on care for our planet Earth. The collection began at Vaughan Park Retreat Center, Auckland NZ during a resident scholarship in 2019. Humanity is coming to know Christ consciousness is energy in and outside of time and space. “I want to add to a growing number of Earth images to express the idea.
Spirit has a spacial identity felt and understood by humanity on this planet. Others believe that Christ consciousness is what dictates and validates our place on our planet. Either way, I like the idea that there is an energetic intelligence manifesting in the universe, and it being love.
