Charlottesville:: Virginia Center for the Book,, 2022.. Edition of 30. Prints are 7" by 10" with a vertical orientation. The printmaking methods represented in the collection are as eclectic as the patron saints they portray. Each set of prints is housed in a paper retablo, or small Peruvian-style altar-box.

Belly band closure with printed title. Each print signed and numbered by the artist. Virginia Center for the Book: "Blending the sacred and the secular, and drawing inspiration from Mexican ex votos, Peruvian retablos, and European and Near Eastern iconography, member artists at the Virginia Center for the Book have produced a collection of storied art venerating whoever/whatever helped them to cope during the pandemic or other recent difficult time. "Several take refuge in distraction, both meaningful and amusing. Some turn inward, exploring the psyche and values. Others shine a light outward, honoring the miracle workers, including the uncelebrated."
