My name is Jessica Padilla and I am an art teacher at Pittsgrove Township Middle School in Pittsgrove, NJ. I’ve been at Pittsgrove since 2016 and have been teaching art since 2013. Before coming to Pittsgrove, I taught as a teaching artist at Appel Farm Arts and Music Center located in Elmer, NJ and Elementary art teacher in Trenton, NJ.
I am an alumni of Rowan University from Glassboro, NJ. I have a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts and Bachelor's in Art Education, and my MFA from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art.
I enjoy experimenting with multiple mediums and considered myself a mixed-media artist. I am currently working with resin and collage. If you would like to view some of my personal artwork, you can visit my art website at www.jessicalynnpadilla.com.
