I started out my career as a young Artist, still in middle school, going to an after school program called 901 Arts. The connections I made at 901 Arts allowed me to apply for several scholarships to cover art programs I was interested in. I was able to take fundamental drawing, expressional drawing, pottery, and photography classes at local Universities, Towson and the Maryland Institute of College and Art. The scholarships also allowed me to go to an art and film focused summer program, Steven Yeager's Young Film Makers Workshop.

My name is Daniel Conrad. My principle arts interest is color-changing light art, an art-form that uses LED lights and barriers behind a diffusing screen with a digital controller. I am also a painter, MFA from MICA.
I have studied color theories, and color perception. In 1972 I made a color-performance instrument, the “chromaccord”, using colored lights and dimmers, and performed on it in San Francisco. Moving back East, I performed in Baltimore and other locations, including the Orpheum Cinema (Baltimore), Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), and Diapason Sound Gallery (NYC).
