Meet Ms Paccione

Vanessa Paccione

Welcome to a new school year!  In case you wanted to know a little bit more about me, I thought I'd share a bit about myself. 

I am going into my 18th year of teaching art in the Swedesboro-Woolwich School District. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University. I also have a Master of Arts in Art Education from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. I love to paint and have painted many murals at the Harker School. Two of my favorite artists are Dale Chihuly and Mark Rothko. I had the great experience of studying art in Rome, Italy during my undergraduate studies. I was the 2019 Gloucester County Teacher of the Year and was also one of six finalists for New Jersey's State Teacher of the Year in 2019. I have a three year old son who is obsessed with dinosaurs and monster trucks! I play volleyball on two league teams and love to go running. 

I can't wait to get to know all of you too. I'm so excited to teach you about exciting new artists, cultures, and beautiful works of art from around the world. Get ready for an exciting year in the art room!  ~Ms. Paccione~
