I have a mind full of classic and contemporary icon images, it represents a cacophony of fragments brought together and ultimately expressed in colored dirt. Mary Jane Miller is always wondering, "What, besides spiritual awe, are icons trying to tell us about the highest and best experiences of our human condition?" The faces reflect the somber, the challenged and the martyred. The discipline of iconography allows one to make contact with something deeper than what you're painting. "Combining the physical painting and a life of prayer enables us to explore and enter into our relationship with God and His creation." Brush strokes come alive in an icon, while the image and process enables icon painters to share what the mind sees, what is trans-formative, unique and unquestionably true.
