“First Impressions” features the work of the founder of Sol Print Studios, Soledad Salamé, as well as artists she has mentored in the fine art and nuanced techniques of printmaking, including Gloria Askin, Joan Belmar, Oletha DeVane, Joe Kabriel, Katherine Kavanaugh, Gabriella Morawetz, Christine Neill, Pamela Phillips, Leslie Portney, Randi Reiss-McCormack, Joyce Scott, and Ruby Yunis.
Educated in South America, Salamé studied printmaking and learned the process of Solar Etching from Dan Welden in the United States. In 2009, her installation “Where Do You Live? 3000 Miles of Maryland Coastline,” a 16-foot mural depicting the ways in which pollution and rising water levels affect the state of Maryland, was exhibited at the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore . In 2006, she created “Aguas Vivas” for the Museum of Bellas Artes in Santiago, Chile, a project about the importance of water, and in 2001 created a solo environmental installation in the National Museum of Bellas Artes in Santiago. Her work is represented in numerous private and public collections, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the University of Essex, UK. Currently living in Baltimore, Salamé is working to expand her Sol Print Studios, where she holds workshops and creates artist proof editions of Solar Etchings in combination with Monoprints, Silkscreens, and Encaustic.
