Cecelia Vicoli is a Senior at The University of Tampa going for a BFA in Animation.  She is a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society, and is in The University of Tampa Honors Program.  She does everything she can to achieve the best with her projects and works every day to better her illustration skills.

Throughout middle school, Junior High and High School there were limited options in the way of Art and Computer classes in the Catholic School system in Indiana, so she took it upon herself to expand her skill level on drawing and various Digital Imaging computer programs.  Cecelia enjoyed working with computers and drawing so it made sense to use the two together and see her sketches come to life.  She attended Ivy Tech Community College, where she learned certain digital skills to pave her way to learning how to Animate.  In her home state, there were few opportunities in the way of Digital Arts and Animation, so with some research and an Associate’s Degree in Graphic Design she moved to Tampa, FL and joined the Animation program at UT, where she is provided the opportunities and equipment she needs to pursue a career in this field.
