Sandra Bacon is a classically trained, versatile artist who resides in the Chicago area. Her artwork is informed by a thorough understanding of acrylics, combined with knowledge of a full range of other media. From paintings to commissioned murals and painted sculptures, her artwork is based on a very real draughtsmanship, with emphasis on texture,movement and color, and inspired by direct observation/gesture with layers of images of the human imprint. She has been working as a Golden Paint working artist since 2006, and generously shares her enthusiasm and knowledge in her lecture/demos and workshops. She has a BA in fine arts/literature from University of Redlands CA, and an MFA from Maryland Institute Graduate School of painting. Bacon's artwork has been commissioned and shown nationally and internationally, and is in many private and corporate collections.

Members One Night Show (ONS)
A One Night Show (ONS) will also take place during the meeting. Each member should bring in one artwork to display to everyone at the meeting. The best judged artwork will receive a ribbon. Remember, bringing in an artwork for the ONS is a defensive move as the judge is chosen for those members that do NOT bring in a piece. How's that for an unveiled threat.
