Pocket Saint -St. Nicholas-Children and Single Women

St. Nicholas Retablo

Patron Saint of Children and Single Women

"Oh man of great heart and compassion, you saved so many who could not help themselves. Watch over all of us – especially children."

Retablos are a devotional folk art form from Mexico and the Southwest US. They are small paintings on wood of Catholic saints and angels. To create these affordable heart-felt paintings of saints, angels and blessings, Lynn Garlick hand carves and paints her original designs on the traditionally used ponderosa pine planks. Then she decoupages high quality prints of her originals onto pine boards, in an old school technique used for the Italian altar screens of medieval Europe.
