Gracie Morbitzer: Modernizing Saints through Paint

Artist Gracie Morbitzer explains her creative process in making the Saints modern and more relatable. In this episode, Take a Leap hosts talk with Gracie about her creative upbringing, college experiences, and current Modern Saints project. The three describe which Saint best represents each of them, and how Gracie decides what hairstyle and clothes to give each of the Saints. This episode is exciting and spiritually-sound, and we think anyone (but especially the creatives) will enjoy it. You could even paint along while tuning in! Gracie Morbitzer has always been drawn to the arts, storytelling, and crafting curated experiences. At the Columbus College of Art & Design, she received a Bachelor's Degree in the Interior Architecture and Design program, studying museums, set design, and immersive experiences. In the summer of 2021, she decided to leave her job to pursue full-time the Modern Saints Project that has now become a small business. Gracie works to make the Saints relatable by bringing them into the current day. In December of 2023, her first book, "The Modern Saints: Portraits and Reflections on the Saints," was released. Take a Leap is a production of BYUradio.
