Ash Knotts grew up in rural Ohio with not much to do except explore abandoned houses looking for ghosts. She currently lives in Portland, Oregon, where she divides her time between working as an animator, shooting independent films, and exploring the Wild West with her dog, Sooki. She owes much of her curiosity for decrepit buildings, history, and cemeteries to her supportive and patient parents, Jim and Jan. Ash’s other work be found on her Instagram, @GhostTownStopMotion, and her website, AshKnotts.com.
