Jill Pettigrew
Jill Pettigrew has been an artist since receiving her first box of 64 Crayola crayons at age five. She graduated summa cum laude from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with degrees in Art Education and Painting. Over her decades-long career, Jill has taught students of all ages, including K-12, adults, senior citizens, and those with special needs. She has led significant public art projects, such as a mural with blind students and one depicting the history of Batavia, NY. Her work features pure, saturated colors, eye-catching patterns, and stylized images of objects from pop culture and everyday life, making my art accessible to a diverse audience of all ages. The central theme is to convey positivity and joy.
