Peter Michael DuFore
was raised in New York City’s "Chelsea and "Hell’s Kitchen" , extended his life and love for music in the world of jazz at an early age. Played both trumpet and french horn , and formed and led amateur jazz groups " The Artistic Jazz Quintet and "The Copasetics" at age fifteen. He received a creative arts education at the prestigious High School of Art & Design, N.Y.C. Received his Bachelor of Fine Arts & Communications from the renowned School of Visual Arts in N.Y.C.
Regarded as an abstract expressionist with a passion for Cubism , and sometimes Surrealistic moods, which lead him to the reflection pools of sounds and rhythms through prisms of musical expressions . "Images travel from the storms of my soul to my mind’s eye incising the winds of Latin (Salsa), Jazz, Classical, Blues and Rock". The colors are emotions of streams that flow into the aesthetic windows’ scapes from the panes of individuals subconscious reflections."
