MEET THE ARTIST

❝ The artist is the creator of beautiful things. ❞

Hello!

My name is Jesselle (any pronouns), and I am the founder and owner of The Bodley Head Resin Artistry.

In addition to being an artist and small business owner, I am also an avid learner and lifelong student. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 2021 and am currently in the final year of my graduate studies, specializing in 19th-century British literature and teaching introduction to college composition.

When you support The Bodley Head, you help a teacher, graduate student, and local artist pursue her aspirations and contribute to her livelihood: and for this, I thank you.
