Bio:
Jill Johnston-Price was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada and lived in various cities in southern Ontario before moving to the United States for graduate work in cinematography. While in graduate school in Florida she organized film programs in the Tampa area. She currently lives in Columbus, Ohio. Jill brings to her animation work a background in photography and painting; her work evolves around a conceptual approach exploring the relationships of ecological systems of self-sustainment and the often bizarre interactions found in nature and proposed in literature and theory; carnivorous plants, folklore, and vampires. She is a recipient of numerous awards and exhibitions including the 2002 Maryland Area Media Artists Fellowship and in the official selection of the traveling CINEME International Animation Festival and compilation DVD.
