In 2022 I prepared to close down our Boomerang Art business but after a heart valve replacement and a double bypass late in 2022 and a follow up assessment by my Cardiologist in February 2023 that my heart works again as it should I decided to start again. With 80 I am too young to retire and at times I have difficulties to tell frequently calling artists not to come.
And what the brilliant staff at Prince Charles Hospital could not do, my wife and business partner Elena is doing. To keep me under control - diet, exercise, lots of green staff, no German sausages and water instead of Cognac - What a life
Today I can say mission accomplished. We again have a house in Alice Springs with space for artists to paint, a 4 wheel drive stationed there for bush trips and a plan to spend half of our time in this place and the rest of our time in Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast where we continue to live and operate a small gallery and a warehouse/exhibition space.
We are a husband/wife business without staff and open up our places by prior appointment when in Coolum Beach with about two warehouse exhibitions a year in Quanda Road.
