Ulla Abildgaard, born in Denmark 1961
I was inspired by my mothers drawings when I was a little girl . I started secretly to draw whilst hidding in my own room when I was 15 - often spening hours in my "naughty room" killing time while producing numerous of drawings which are still a precious belong of mine. Im mainly self taught and have developed my own destinct tecnique by using plastic cards and other "tools" instead of brushes. I have also studied printmaking and artphotography.
I became more more devoted to my art and in 2006 I started to participate in exhibitions allowing me to sell and creating a name for myself

Bjorn Hansen, born in Denmark 1953.
40 years ago I had fun combining images in the darkroom, but my current enthusiasm and interest was dormant for a long time. A few years ago I started taking a lot of landscape shots which allowed me to combine many of them with images of models I had taken. I’ve always experimented and one day the images fused together perfectly and I knew this was a new path for me
I am a very curious and inventive person by nature and have the ability to see in my mind how images could come together. Slowly in Photoshop I changed the original images with different plug-in's in order to create the final images - what I call Photographic Fusion Art.

Ulla and Bjorn's Journey
We met on a life drawing and photography cruise in Sydney organised by TAP Gallery - Lesley , the organiser took great pleasure in introducing us , as the two Danish artists on an Aussie adventure.
We started chatting and exchanging our mutual passion for creating and how we could possibly combine it .
We soon became regulars at TAP Gallery gatherings and exhibitions and each time we come up with new creative plans for the future. We had several successful joint exhibitions and linked with this, Bjorn came up with the idea of "Fusion Art" - combining photography and paint in one - our first fusion "Rose" was crated followed by many more amazing collaborations
During our first year as business partners, we spent many hours experimenting with fusion art , photography , paintings , planning of exhibitions and networking. We formed a very close bond and our friendship grow along with our many unique creations. After one year the fusion of talent, chemistry and love, became a reality ... !
"It has been a fantastic journey ever since we first meet in so many ways . We have achieved immensely, both artistically and emotionally ....this is only the beginning !"
