Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!

Hosted by Kira Rodrigues

Today’s guest is Nickelodeon Intern and Storyboard Artist, Garnet Garcia!

When the pandemic hit, Garnet was active in various animation circles like Rise Up Animation, RAD Artists Network, Lightbox Expo, just to name a few. Her drive and passion eventually led her to a production internship at Nickelodeon Animation in 2021. In this episode, we discuss how she honed in on her craft, how she broke in, and how she was able to take care of her mental health while doing so.
