Jesi Jean is an artist, illustrator, and graphic artist behind Quill Bop.

She works primarily with India ink, watercolor, and cyanotype, building images through layered washes, staining, and high-contrast mark-making. Her process shifts between precise linework and blooms, bleeds, and the occasional chaos of surrendering to the medium's will.

Colombian-born and Los Angeles–raised, Jesi studied illustration and earned a degree in Graphic Design from The Art Institute of California. There, she emerged into a creative world that prized the weird, the raw, the eccentric, and the imaginative.

After years working in art direction and design, Jesi relocated to the San Juan Islands, Washington, to cultivate a quieter, more intentional life and focus on fine art. Evolving with her bliss, her practice expanded across photography, oil painting, sculpture, printwork, and digital art, before returning to the tactile pull of ink, paper, and photo-chemistry. Living close to the ocean and the seasons shapes the emotional climate of her work—an ongoing study in change, healing, and growth.

She has come to believe that life is unpredictable and that good art has the jagged and surprising breath of aliveness.
