She truly is one of the finest singer/songwriters in L.A..." ~~

the Best...! Not only was I awed by the amazing talent of Tom

Super 8Wendy’s photo show at Gasoline Gallery in El Segundo was a big success!  The collection of black & white super-8 photographs, from 1985 film she shot throughout L.A., received raves from all in attendance, with one collector purchasing personal favorite “…feather on Olvera Street” to add to his own art collection!

As she plans to continue showing her photographs, Conrad has been adding selected works to her catalog from super-8 film she shot in New York City in 1986.
