Meet Chrissy Rocha, designer of the new MCBA Logo

Hi. My name is Christiana Rocha, but my friends call me Chrissy for sort. I’m 26 years old, and have one twin sister, and one younger sister. I grew up around all sorts of animals, including a whole flock of birds, and have always had a love for them. I also like to think artistic talent runs in the family.

In my free time, I like to draw my own free pieces, and I am a bit of a geek, as I also enjoy playing video games. A lot.

My biggest interest in art probably sprouted more when I was starting middle school. I spent a lot of time after school working on my projects sometimes. Afterwards, I went to Massasoit in Canton where I continued to study art. During that time, I also joined the art website, Deviant Art. There, I learned even more tips and tricks for digital art.

I normally enjoy doing fiction-based pieces, but my teachers have told me I have a talent for doing things like still lives as well. While working on this bird piece, I also worked on several other projects that allowed me even further the types of techniques and skills used in this seal. If not for the tips and tricks I learned from my professors and friends, I feel this wouldn’t have come out nearly as nice.

One day, I hope to be able to use my art skills to earn a good living, maybe even working on art concepts for those games I have enjoyed playing ever since I was small.
