About Jill Dunbar

Working in the film business since 1998, I have been involved in all aspects of the film. Starting as a PA, I worked my way into an Art Director position, then Coordinating, and currently a Lead Wardrobe Stylist/Costume Designer. I\'ve dressed many famous actors, athletes and musicians. I\'m proud to say I\'ve been a photographer since about the age of 10. With a camera always in hand, I\'ve been in love with the art for years. My passion has taken me from fashion shoots, product photography and special events. I\'m available for hire in many capacities. For four years plus I was the co-owner and director of SmART Gallery. The gallery was a gift from Developer Michael Morrissey. We had the vision and he helped make it possible. Through the gallery we provided hundreds of artists a way to display and sell their work. It was a great pleasure to meet and celebrate creation with friends and artists from all over the U.S. and Canada. After four years we\'ve decided to shut our doors and sell art online at Currently I teach fashion, ceramics, photography and film at The Art Center in Highland Park. I\'ve been blessed to teach in a beautiful building for 13 years. I own a beautiful property in Northern Ontario, Canada. We call it Chauncey Gardens. We\'ve hosted several volleyball camps and film/photography camps. Those camps have provided young people not just the ability to make art and learn skills but to discover the great North. The untouched beauty of the North provides great creative inspiration. Students from our camps have won photo contests with the photos taken at our camps. The film students have had their film travel all over the U.S, Canada and North Korea. Come discover and create at This historic home is available for rent.
