Jessica Wesolek
After earning a BA and Secondary Teaching Certification from the University of Michigan, Jessica went on to graduate studies in film at UC Berkeley, and commercial illustration and graphic design at Parson’s School of Design in New York City.

She has taught art at the high school, college, and adult school levels, and headed an award winning high school art department in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years.

She is a watercolorist and photographer, whose paintings, photographs, and assemblage pieces have been collected worldwide through galleries in San Francisco, New York, and Santa Fe.

Jessica founded and ran her own graphic design and marketing firm in the San Francisco Bay Area, and was a pioneer in the field of computer graphics - working closely with companies in the Silicon Valley as that field developed. She has been working with PhotoShop daily since being a beta tester in the program’s infancy.

After enough years of producing her art and photography for corporations, a move back to personal art seemed to be more than a great idea!
Jessica left corporate America behind, and opened an art gallery on the ocean south of San Francisco, and then three more fine art galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she also hosted and taught artists and students from all over the country at workshops and retreats. This led to corporate workshops for the creative teams of art and ad agencies. (You never really escape the corporate world, no matter how you try!)

Jessica has now brought all this experience into Cre8it! (www.cre8it.com) her internet company where she markets art papers and materials of her own design (Sheer Heaven for one) publishes online art magazines, and still hosts art and art journaling retreats in Santa Fe. She is dedicated to the joy of creativity and to sharing that joy.

The introduction of online workshops through Cre8it in the Spring of 2007, was a phenomenal success and made teaching a major part of daily life again. We go around and come around, it's true.

Jessica lives with her husband and a large family of fur-children in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
