When neighbours and printmakers Di Lockwood and Heather Merrett get together, you get magic happening. Synergy in Print , the exhibition, is the result of this magical moment when neighbours and friends get together. It explores Narre Warren, highlights its people and its sense of place and time in minutia and in broad brush strokes.

You're invited to Opening Night on Saturday 6 January 2018 from 4pm to 6pm at Gate 6 Gallery, Gate 6 Akoonah Park, Cardinia St, Berwick. The exhibition continues to run till 28 January at gallery openings times of 11am to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.


Heather Merrett's original inspirations were the prehistoric fertility goddesses and the traditional Japanese block prints. It speaks to her as a celebration of 'woman'. Her forms celebrates a woman's individuality, strength, sociability, determination to succeed, patience and resourcefulness.

She loves the tradition of art-making and the actual techniques, which she feels particularly accentuate and illustrate women's achievements and goals.


Di Lockwood's printmaking is the result of exploring the possibilities of each plate, and often the combination of a number of plates and processes. Using her handmade paper and prints as collage material in other works is part of the process in her creativity. Painting is her other medium, and usually based on the colours and forms of the landscape.

Di spearheads SECAN (South Eastern Contemporary Art Network) as its President. This is where members meet monthly and focus on the progress of individual and group activities and projects. A dynamic group of contemporary artists, they work across a diverse range of styles and mediums, and their aim is for all contemporary artists in the local surrounding areas to have a meeting place to connect and share ideas with other like-minded creatives. Why not check them out if this grabs your interest. Come along to Opening Night and find out more firsthand.
