Through iconography, we embark on a transformative journey, connecting with the divine and channeling our innermost thoughts and emotions onto the canvas. It is a sacred dance between the artist and the divine, a harmonious symphony of colors and symbols that speaks volumes without uttering a single word. As we immerse ourselves in this sacred art form, we discover a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment, for iconography is not merely a skill to be mastered, but a spiritual calling that beckons us to explore the depths of our souls.
Join us for an interactive and engaging experience as we guide you through the artistic icon writing process.

Artist's Statement
Icon painting intertwines our visual interest with a devout life of prayer. It allows us to explore our connection with God and his magnificent creation. With each delicate brushstroke, an icon breathes life, as the artist's mind envisions and embraces its transformative power.
Mary Jane Miller welcomes those who have retreat centers, churches, or devotional spaces that want a particular commission installed. Her coaching and commentaries are also available on request for budding Icon painters.
