Fusion6 Artists
Raelene, Joe, Lyn, Regina, Helen & Terrianne
Joseph Attard | Helen Edwards | Regina Hona | Lyn Mellady | Terrianne Murray | Raelene Sharp
It was in October 2004 when several of our group were attending an art exhibition, that a suggestion was made by Lyn to Helen to bring together a few artists to sketch each other on a regular basis. After a few of these sketching days, it was suggested that we could do more than just sketch and slowly ideas began to form and sometimes took on astronomical proportions, as we began to plan for our project and special exhibition. ABOUT FACE, our first project, took two years to develop and even then time was short to follow through on all that we wanted to do as we were committed to a gallery exhibition schedule. DETOUR has taken us even longer to develop, especially as it is a much more sensitive project where we were also reliant on Melbourne CityMission to provide us with our subjects.
Initially our group had only females however Joe, Raelene, Terrianne and Regina where already meeting regularly for 'en plein air' painting days and it was difficult to schedule sufficient time for both groups to flourish. As Joe is also a keen portrait artist it was a logical decision to invite Joe into our portrait group and we are thankful that he gives a wonderful balance to an otherwise all female group. As time progressed we decided to limit our group to six; eventually deciding on the group name Fusion6, and indeed 'six' will now be an important dominant thread in all of our projects and exhibitions.
We feel it is important to mention that we could not have achieved what we have to date without the enthusiastic and continuous support of our Project Manager and husband of Helen, Ivor Edwards to whom we are all eternally grateful.
