“I am glad you are here exploring Contemporary Iconography – it is true that my styles and references in iconography evolved over time, and I think this is normal. I believe that iconography is an art, and that development of a style is required for every artist.

Spiritual language is particularly expansive and intriguing.”  READ interview Mary Jane Miller – Bold Journey with San Miguel Icons. PDF of resume
