Biography
Born overseas to multicultural parents, Christina Rodriguez grew up as an “Air Force brat,” and lived in several countries. Christina always loved to draw and paint, and wherever she lived, she excelled in her art classes. She was awarded several generous scholarships to the Rhode Island School of Design where she graduated in 2003.

Currently, Christina works as a freelance illustrator for many clients nationwide. Her work has been recognized by the Midwest Booksellers Association, Foreword Magazine, the Northeastern Minnesota Book Awards, and the Mom's Choice Awards. When not illustrating or promoting her books, Christina actively serves as the Illustrator Coordinator for the Minnesota Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, helping other authors and illustrators achieve their dreams in the publishing industry. Finally, Christina dabbles in graphic design, creating items such as note cards for nature centers, logos, and wedding invitation ensembles.

In her spare time, Christina enjoys cooking authentic Mexican cuisine, hula-hooping, and hiking along the St. Croix River. She and her husband live with their dog in historic Stillwater, Minnesota.
