Hello Everyone,
My name is Georgia Novotny and I was born and raised in California (Bay Area and La Quinta). My family moved to South Lake Tahoe when I was nine. I have been in the Reno/Tahoe area for over 20 years. I’ve been with my husband for 15 years and we bought a house in Reno 2 years ago so I could go back to college. I had my own business for 8 years in Gardnerville during what I called the “great depression” of our time. I’m just glad to have survived having a small business during those economical conditions.
I’m currently studying at TMCC with plans to get an AAS in Graphic Communications and graduate next spring. I plan on transferring to a university or private college to study animation, illustration and web design. It would be a dream to make animated movies for Disney or Pixar, or video games for anyone. In reality I would be happy with any job that lets me be creative and get paid for it. I have 4 years of Studio/Fine Arts but changed my major to Graphics to get a good job. I love working on computers and being able to create art, to get paid is going to be an extra bonus. I am also learning how to create websites so that I have those skills as a back up plan for a job. I know how competitive and hard it is to be an animator. I think in reality web design is a great career path that will be around for a while. At least we all hope so right!
