As a former student of the College of DuPage, much of Tony Fitzpatrick's creative life began at COD, where he set his sights on becoming an artist and an actor. Right here in Glen Ellyn, he began acting, writing poetry, and making art. Since then, Fitzpatrick's work has appeared in The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and The Art Institute of Chicago, and the National Museum of American Art in Washington, DC.
