I have been an artist all my life.  Was born and raised in Chicago.  About 7 years ago my partner and I partner moved to Orlando Florida but  I still have friends, family in Chicago.  I reached a milestone in my artistic career  in 2006 . Through donations and acquisitions  my ART is in every USA State.  I create, "Full of life creations" - like walking in Duggans Bistro or Carols Speakeasy (Both discos I frequented in the  in the early 80's) the lights, music, energy and love.  My message is simple, "Create what you feel, life is so short - gotta live life to the fullest.   And I end all correspondence, "Peace the world needs more of it" .  For these troubled times (this damn war in Iraq) its message is well received.  I have hosted many art shows in the Orlando area.  Of course I'm always looking for other venues to display my creations.   And Of course I have an international following.  So get out those disco albums check out my website  http://durkart.com/ and smile.  Peace  - the world needs more of it.
