About Me

I am successful abstract artist currently residing in Orlando Florida USA. I grew up in Chicago, Illinois in the 70's. Loved the energy of a crowded dance club - the music, energy, the love. I remember places such as Carols' Speakeasy, the Bistro, Broadway Limited, Deeks - I used to dance the nights away. I loved the Chicago leather Scene too, frequenting The Gold Coast, Touches, Meat Market. It was a time like no other - It was, or it seemed to be a more peaceful time. That energy is the energy I want to reflect on my creations, happy, upbeat, full of life. Through donations to friends and organizations "I support", my art is in every USA State. I have had many shows in the Orlando Area, and my art is in several galleries. My message is simple, "Life is SO short - "gotta live life to the fullest". I end with the message 'Peace the world needs more of it." For these troubled times (this war in Iraq) its message is well received. I've got 2 yahoo websites running http://groups.yahoo.com/group/durkART0001/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ARTIST4PEACE/ and my webpage http://durkart.com/

My Interests

Music:

Pet Shop Boys, 70's 80's disco music
