The People of Chattacon 

All guests of honor, panelists, performers, presenters, artists or any other individual who may present in some way at Chattacon are booked in good faith and we have their guarantee that they will appear when we announce they will be at the convention. However, unforeseen events (illness, family emergencies or production work) may cause a particular guest to cancel. 

Madolyn Locke

An award-winning artist, Madolyn works primarily in fantasy fine art photography and digital art. Born and raised in Alabama, Madolyn has lived in Atlanta long enough to consider herself a native. She received her first ‘real’ camera from her uncle at the age of 13, but it wasn’t until many years later that she focused on her passion for the art form and decided to get serious about her work.

Madolyn has been selected for several exhibitions and art shows in Atlanta and across the country, including becoming a fixture at the Dragon*Con Art Show where she won ‘Best Photography’ in 2018 and ‘Best Photography/Digital Art’ in 2019, 2021, & 2023. She has shown in New York City’s Chelsea district and has been invited to display in galleries in both the US and Canada. She has also been featured in numerous publications and was nominated for an ASFA Chesley Award for ‘Best Paperback or eBook Cover’ in 2021.

Madolyn’s inspiration is born from the belief that even in today’s world of confusion and chaos, there are still things of beauty which can fill our thoughts and dreams. Her work often explores the varying relationships between popular sci-fi/fantasy culture themes and fine art.
