Art and music have always played an influential role in Duke Windsor’s life. Windsor worked as a Combat Illustrator for the United States Marine Corp until 1982. Recognizing that art was his calling, Windsor decided to open his first art studio in 1986.
In 1999 Windsor began a series of paintings focusing on the alleys of North Park. A decade later, deciding something had to change, Duke enrolled in the San Diego Fine Art Society's Artist Mentor Program. Under the guidance of mentor Yoram Gil and using his early cityscape subject matter as inspiration, Windsor created his current more stylized interpretations of the urban landscape. The Mentor Program allowed Windsor to make a ground-breaking transition in the execution of his works, pushing him to experiment with techniques and a visual language bordering on abstraction.
Duke currently lives and creates in North Park. For more information about his past or current work go to: www.dukewindsorstudio.com or contact him directly at dukewindsorstudio@cox.net.
