Conrad’s work has been exhibited throughout the United States in various solo, group, and invitational exhibitions and has won a number of awards including the Lawrence Rathsack Scholarship and the Frederick R. Layton Fellowship.
Tony is represented by the Frank Juarez Gallery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
