Soft Impressions
August 1 through September 27, 2025
Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County presents "Soft Impressions" featuring Emily Clare, Terri Dowell-Dennis, Alix Hitchcock, Randy Norris and Patty Pape.​​
ABOUT
Soft Impressions brings together work by five Winston – Salem women artists, each of whom uses Gel or gelatin plate printmaking as part of their studio practice. Each artist takes a personal approach to creating monotypes and mixed-media imagery using this simple and versatile printmaking technique. The gelatin plate’s primary attribute is softness; its surface, when inked, readily receives imagery via objects such as cloth, plants, stencils, or any textured materials and transfers the impressions onto paper. Terri Dowell-Dennis says, “printmaking on a gelatin plate offers me the ability to capture very fine details while collaborating with chance occurrences inherent in the process. The result is often both precise and painterly and always somewhat surprising.
