Debbie Haeberle is Gallery 'N' Gifts January featured artist

Artist and teacher Debbie Haeberle is making her debut at Gallery 'N' Gifts as the featured artist for the month of January!

Debbie is a new resident of Tehachapi and currently teaches art at Jacobsen Middle School. She is a CSUB graduate in art education and was an art activities leader for 12 years as an employee of Bakersfield City School District and Kern High School district.

Mrs. Haeberle has been exploring and enjoying art her entire life. She began her formal art study at the age of eight, learning oil and acrylic painting techniques. Attending high school in Orange County, her high school teacher, Mr. Wendt, introduced her to Impressionism including Pointillism.

Today, she usually creates images in the pointillist style using a variety of pens and inks.

Debbie's art has been exhibited in many shows and festivals throughout southern and central California. Her work reflects her love of California and the state's many natural wonders, especially its beautiful coastal shores.

Principal of Jacobson Middle School, Paul Kaminski says of Mrs. Haeberle, "Mrs. Haeberle is doing an outstanding job with our 6th grade art program. Being able to have a fulltime teacher to provide art instruction has been wonderful for our students. She has them display their work all over the school which brightens the hallways. We at JMS are fortunate to have such talent on our staff."

She happily spends her days sharing her love of art with her many talented students and during her free time she can be found traveling with her family to the many nearby scenic places in California.

Please join us and enjoy the wonderful work of Debbie Haeberle during the month of January.
