Pocket Angels

These charming, little keepsake angels and pocket saints make a thoughtful gift or little treat for your home.

Lynn Garlik's retablos are a traditional devotional folk art form. The artist started carving, painting, and producing her retablos in 1993. The collection represents blessings and protection with patronages and prayers to address most aspects of our daily lives.

The artist paints her original retablos on traditional pine board carvings and then paints them with watercolor or occasionally oil and finishes them with a polyurethane. These produced images are mounted on 1/8-inch Baltic birch.
