Drogo was a Flemish nobleman born in 1186. He was orphaned in his early teens. When he was 18, he gave up everything he owned and became a penitential pilgrim. He made nine long pilgrimages to Rome. Later, he became a shepherd in France. He was said to be seen by many in two places at once, tending his sheep and simultaneously at church. He suffered a great disfigurement. He felt so hideous that he stayed hidden in a cell attached to the church for 40 years until his death.

Lynn Garlick Retablos Lynn started carving, painting, and producing her retablos in 1993. Her workshop is located in the high desert town of Taos, New Mexico. The retablo, or “board behind the altar”, was originally created in New Mexico in the 1800’s in response to the lack of Bibles and Icons being sent from the church in Rome. Lynn paints her originals retablos on traditional pine boards carving and then painting them with watercolor or occasionally oil and finishes them with a polyurethane. The originals are then reproduced and mounted on1/8 inch baltic birch. The backs are laser engraved with a prayer or information relating to each saint.
