St Eugene Magnet

This magnet of St. Eugene was created by classically trained painter, Barbara Barratt. As a long time resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico Barbara has embraced the strong local aesthetic, often reinterpreting images in her own unique folk art style. Her colorful style is the result of years working in the arts as an illustrator, poster artist, and greeting card designer.  Know someone who is having family issues?  Perhaps St. Eugene may help them.

"As a child in Catholic school, I collected and traded Patron Saint holy cards, much as other kids collected baseball cards. I delighted in the art and the idea I could appeal to a special saint for help with a specific need. I often use the sanctioned modern patronage as opposed to the traditional one to make it more relevant." - Barbara Barratt
