Foundress of the nuns referred to as "Poor Clares". She was inspired by San Francisco, who was a friend and a mentor. She ran away from home to a chapel where San Francisco shaved off her hair, took away her beautiful, noblewoman clothes, and married her to Christ in a rough brown robe. Soon after, her sister Agnes and other women joined her. They lived a life of poverty. They ate no meat, wore no shoes, and were silent most of the time. St. Clare's words:

"Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for he who created you has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother."

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.
