About

The Modern Saints by Gracie has an Instagram following of over 11K, but it started as a solution to Grace Morbitzer’s struggled to transition from  Catholic diocesan schools to arts college. She now supports herself as a full-time modern iconographer, working 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.
