Meet the performer:

Westley Art Hodges is a native of New Orleans and has resided in Chicago, IL, since 2018. Westley has served as the Director of Music Ministries at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Evanston, IL, since 2019. Before being at St. Mark's, they served as Director of Music for The Annunciation of Our Lady Episcopal Church in Gurnee, IL, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Peoria, IL, St. Joseph's Episcopal Church, McDonough, GA, St. Aiden's Episcopal Church, Alpharetta GA, and St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, Long Beach, MS. Outside of church work, Westley performs as an accompanist and solo artist and teaches private music lessons to a studio of 24+ students.

Westley earned an Associate of the Arts in Music Education at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Perkinston, MS, and studied Clarinet Performance at Delta State University, Cleveland, MS. They earned a Bachelor of the Arts in Liberal Studies with a Minor in Women and Gender Studies at the University of Illinois Springfield, where they also did graduate work in Women and Gender Studies.


Outside work, Westley enjoys spending time with their fabulous husband, Joseph, and their mischievous cat, Sidney “Sid”. Westley and Joseph are both Lakeside Pride Clarinet Choir members. Westley currently serves as the director of the clarinet choir. At the end of the day, if you are looking for Westley and music is not involved, you will always be able to find them in the kitchen, perfecting savory and dessert recipes and enjoying spending time outdoors hiking and camping.
