Meet JR Ledesma:
Cadiz City’s Heartfelt Visual Artist

JR Ledesma has always had art in his soul. Though he originally dreamed of studying Fine Arts, life led him to earn a degree in Secondary Education, majoring in Physical Education at the Philippine Normal University (PNU).

But his love for art never faded. JR has since joined national competitions like the Philippine Art Awards, GSIS Art Competition, and Metrobank MADE—and even held two solo exhibits at Kulay Diwa Gallery: “Outburst” (2016) and “Hidden Grief” (2020).

In 2023, he was honored with the Cadizeños Award for Visual Art and recognized by PNU. Now, with support from the Cadiz City Government, he’s finally pursuing formal Fine Arts studies in GK College of Business & Technology.

Through workshops, exhibits, and murals, JR shares his passion locally—believing that art is a gift, a way to heal, and a voice for personal truth.
