Sister Trinita Marie Amorosi Died: 5/31/2016 As I reflect on my fifty years of friendship with Sister Trinita Marie, the tune “How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria” keeps teasing me. “Trin” was not a problem to be solved, but a gifted spirit hard to quantify. She enriched and enlivened, designed and decorated in order to make concepts visible and the spiritual concrete. She began her art training at Hallahan High School under Sister Mary Trinita, at the school she loved and with the mentor she revered. From Hallahan she arrived in West Chester in 1950 to enrich our IHM ministries. I first met her in Lancaster in 1964 where we served together in Catholic High. There, in addition to the Fine Arts classes, she relished her time with the Mechanical Drawing students. After returning from teaching art in Chile, she became an itinerant art teacher in Philadelphia, then a beloved art teacher at Bishop McDevitt High School where she spent countless after school hours painting sets and scenery for school drama and musical productions. We worked together again in 1982 when she came to Immaculata College where she renewed the art program, offering ceramics as well as watercolor and oil painting. After taking instruction in sculpture at the West Chester Art Alliance she found a niche she loved, and the Wednesday sculpture sessions with the adult sculpture group became a permanent part of her program. A six thousand mile trip I made with her from Pennsylvania to Utah in search of art and alabaster is a memory I cherish. In the Utah quarries she ordered five hundred pounds of alabaster. After she packed one hundred pounds in the trunk, I had to convince her to ship the rest if we intended to make it over the mountains. As technology advanced she became proficient with graphics, coupling hands-on with screen imaging. She did not like “pretty”. She believed art should reflect life in its strength and in its strife. I cannot do justice to her gifted spirit. I will, however, always relish it.
