Madeline Bechtel (MCCB) is a full-time artist, graphic designer and
illustrator located in Colorado, USA.

Her daytime work is for the City of Fort Collins as their Senior Graphic Designer
while all other  work is created through MCCB Design - a whimsical personal
business focused on creating powerful art and brands. Through these outlets,
she’s able to stay deeply connected with her community; a symbiotic
relationship between creative people and place.

Art by MCCB relies heavily on balance - between real vs. abstract, light vs. dark, simplicity vs. complexity and traditional vs. experimental. Madeline’s specialty is color and the psychological effects it can have on people. Her process often combines manual and digital techniques - allowing her to work in diverse settings. Ultimately, art by MCCB aims to speak to the wild curiosity  living in us by focusing on themes of nature, science and human existence.
