Beloved Freedom

KATYA MILLER'S EXPLORATION INTO OUR NATION'S STATUE OF FREEDOM

INTRODUCING

KATYA MILLER

Katya’s journey began with a mystical connection to the Statue of Freedom and 20 years of scholarship. She was asked to write articles and was given a Fellowship by the Capitol to write the book, Beloved Freedom: Secret on the US Capitol Dome. With a 30 year career as a metalsmith, the voice of the bronze statue resonated deeply in her. Katya’s devotion to sharing this story comes from the heart and soul of an artisan, a wordsmith and a passionate citizen.

Katya Miller is a diligent researcher and an able and talented writer, so I know her proposed book will be thoroughly researched, informative and readily accessible to the public.  Over the years that we have corresponded about her project, I have been impressed with her persistence, enthusiasm and dedication to this project, Her work will not only celebrate the artistic and aesthetic aspects of the statue but it will also add great depth to our historical and symbolic understanding of the work itself.
