A piece of Art History in progress
2001
With daughter Vanessa and some like minded Tafe associates he pursued an idea to form a core Art group/art movement with Gallery space based in the popular coastal town of Kingscliff NSW. Kingscliff was then home to the Art, food and Jazz Festival held annually.
In May the Curious Art minus zero no limits Co-Operative Ltd was officially registered and opened its retail Art Gallery only a few minutes drive from Kingscliff at nearby Chinderah Bay by the Tweed River in September 2001.
He has been the Manager and one of the Directors, since the formation of the Co-operative until the present time.
