Date recorded: Friday, February 6, 2026
Medium: Printmaking
In this session, artist Nanette Wallace will discuss and demonstrate the monotypes unique ability to capture a sense of light, form and energy with unpredictable, yet desirable results. While she primarily uses a printing press in her studio practice, a Gelli plate, (without a press), will be used to demonstrate techniques that are similar to her traditional monotype printmaking practice.

Nanette Wallace’s gestural artwork is created as an emotional response to the world around her. She feels deeply connected to bodies of water, the play of light, and the power of art and nature to heal and lift her up. She is both a painter and printmaker; her monotypes lean heavily into the painterly realm.
In Nanette’s monotype process, the ghost is the link between successive images that either extend the previous idea or embrace a new train of thought. The “ghost” being ink left on the plate from a previous monotype print. Simply put, the ghost conjures, and she responds to it, through a process of iteration. Her tools are crude and imprecise, including brayers, q-tips and her finger wrapped in a cotton cloth which add to the element of surprise. While she often has specific intentions when she starts making her work, she finds the monotype process vital for working in the moment, allowing her to respond to what emerges and intuitively follow the image as it reveals itself to her.
