Saintmaker52 carves and paints saints of all types, large and small. He also creates nativities, nichos, retablos, bultos, trasteros, roperos, and other religious folk art. His work is often made from recycled materials: scrap lumber, old cloth, discarded tin, and other found objects. His hand-carved saints (bultos) are often clothed in fabric-mache and then adorned with tin halos, crowns, auras and found object accessories. They are often housed in nichos. His nativities are uniquely designed using these materials and contain from 5-20 carved characters, depending on size. Hand-made furniture (trasteros/cabinets and roperos/wardrobes) in Southwest style include carvings and paintings of saints.
