Faith Hubley
(1924 - 2001)

Born Faith Elliott in New York City; wife of John Hubley. Faith Hubley designed, directed and produced 22 animated films. She and her husband established an independent studio, which produced films that broke new ground in the world of animation.

The Hubleys employed a free-form visual style and often used improvised dialogue by their children and others, as well as jazz music by such artists as Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Carter. The Hubleys received three Academy Awards for their films, and their work has been celebrated at film festivals and exhibits throughout the country.

After her husband's death in 1977, her solo work was marked by an emphasis on world mythology and the art of indigenous peoples. In a 1998 article in the Wall Street Journal, Joe Morgenstern wrote: "[H]er animation teems with images so zestful, so restless and, for the most part, so joyous that they seem to be celebrating their release from tubes of paint and bottles of ink."

She held the position of senior critic of filmmaking at Yale University.
