Veronica Batter, the founder of Rockdale Art Center, is a dedicated artist and educator with 18 years of teaching experience. After graduating from Moore College of Art and Design, with distinction, she went on to teach art at area schools spanning grades K-12th grade. She spent ten years teaching at Sun Valley High School, enriching the art department, and was co-founder of the annual arts gala Arts Alive. During her teaching career she earned a Masters of Liberal Studies with highest honors from Widener University. She was instrumental in forming Rockdale Arts District; a newly formed arts destination encompassing 9 arts organizations in the historic section of Aston. Veronica continues to create and teach and is actively involved in her local community, advocating for a rich and welcoming cultural corridor along Chester Creek.

I really enjoy watching students embrace their creativity and show pride in their artwork. When a student has an epiphany or realization and turns a corner in their art production, it's very rewarding.
