Jocelyn Barlow Boblink is a freelance artist, marketing consultant, and graphic designer with 25 years experience in project/event management, computer-aided design, layout, detangling marketing knots, watercolor illustration, and photo manipulation. She and her husband launched Gothic Windows in 1991, just after launching their first child.

Jocelyn was born just off campus at Purdue University and raised in Kingsville, Maryland by terribly clever parents. After graduating from St. Paul's School for Girls in Baltimore, and weathering a rather tumultuous college career, she left Purdue earning a BA in Creative Arts and Medieval Studies. Joce's well-rounded work experience includes jobs in toy stores, crazy printing presses, public speaking, teaching bank presidents what 8th graders are like, and the psychological (and physical) gymnastics of potty-training toddlers and teaching teenagers how to parallel park.

Joce (pronounced "JOE-see"— If you would like to discuss the choice or pronunciation of her name, we recommend watching the 1962 movie, The Manchurian Candidate.) is a member of the Graphic Artists Guild, and is also an awarded calligrapher and watercolor painter. In 1997 she was named official artist for the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC. and her original works can be found in collections from Connecticut to California. Her citations and awards hail from exhibitions in Rhode Island, Indiana, and Illinois.

Mrs. Boblink enjoys teaching K–8 art part-time at St. Paul's Lutheran School where she led a student–assisted wall mural. She works out of her studio-office in a part of Indiana that thinks it's Chicago, with her devastatingly handsome husband, three precocious children, and a dog named C.K. Dexter Haven.
