The stained glass windows at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Monroe City, MO present a contemporary, graphic interpretation of sacred imagery. Built primarily with unpainted antique glass, the design emphasizes movement, clarity, and symbolic expression over ornament.
Inspired by earlier Willet designs, the windows feature upward, flame-like motion balanced by structured linear elements. Bold trace lines and luminous antique glass create clarity and rhythm, allowing light, color, and symbolism to carry the narrative in a clean, modern visual language rooted in tradition.
