Galerie Trinitas, University of Great Falls, Montana
Great Falls, Montana

Art, University

Adjacent to the University chapel the Galerie Trinitas encompasses the multi-talented works from Sister M. Trinitas Morin. She was a talented master artist who taught in numerous locations but made her home here. She utilized wood, metal, canvas, glass, fabric, and words to paint, sculpt, mold and weave pieces that represent her devotion to her spirituality. All across campus you can find examples of her work. The chapel holds life size stained glass windows representing each apostle. She also created a metal mosaic on the alter, behind the crucifix that is brilliant throughout the day as the sun shines through windows at different angles. She carved The Stations of the Cross out of wood. Hanging in the library is a beautiful Home Blessing she cross stitched.
