Hi there! I’m Leah Padio, a high school art teacher based in Monticello, Indiana, with a passion for photography, watercolor painting, and throwing on the pottery wheel. I studied art education at Indiana University and have been teaching since 2015. In my classroom, I focus on building strong relationships with my students by guiding them through their creative processes. I believe that these connections not only enhance their artmaking but also help them grow personally.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll often find me outdoors, soaking up the sun, or traveling to new places. I love spending time with my friends and family, and I’m always on the lookout for local coffee shops to try. I’m constantly inspired by the world around me, and I enjoy finding new ways to blend my passions for art and life.

I am excited to share my knowledge and passions with you through The Art of Education University.
