My ability to motivate students and
share a love of learning, fosters a successful classroom environment. I
want to break that barrier of self doubt to open the door for true
enjoyment of creativity. ...I welcome becoming part of ‘the arts
community in the Temecula Valley and neighboring communities
Gabriele Baber
“We are fortunate that such a talented artist as
Gabriele Baber took the time to prepare artwork specifically for the
festival…Her work depicts the Temecula of today, and the future, and she
has captured the quality of life that the arts bring to Temecula.”

Personal Info:
Gabriele Baber was born in Lendersdorf
Germany. She immigrated with her parents to Northern California
in 1957 and remained in the Bay area until she married her
husband and moved to Washington state. There she gave birth to
two boys, Jeff now 24 and Eric now 21. Five years after moving
to Washington Gabriele and her family moved to Chino Hills. With
one boy in school and one a toddler she began to further study
art in college while juggling her teaching and art affiliations
with local and regional art groups. She managed to juggle family
life and her love of painting, she has nurtured since childhood,
all the while perfecting her ever developing painting and
drawing skills. Besides her college studies he devoured
everything from books, to videos and taking endless workshops so
she could to better her craft. As the children were growing,
she was able to have a home studio and teach through the many
years of their childhood. Just when she started to have the
freedom to expand, she gave birth to another child, Kristen, now
13.
With all three children older and grown,
her years of preparation for this time in her life has left her
with a very exciting future, during this nearly empty nest time.
She has expanded her studio to include both a classroom and a
personal studio so that she could continue the teaching that she
so loves, and have her own space to continue working on her
Temecula Series and other painting projects and commission
works. This arrangement has proven to be the ideal situation for
Gabriele to be able to balance home life and her life long
passion for her art. Recently Gabriele has begun self publishing
her art, and hopes to continue doing so with her winery series.
Her goal is to have her work in every winery in California, and
who knows where from there. Perhaps soon to have her own
Gallery/Studio.
Gabriele has recently made a big impression
in the art community in Temecula Valley with her recent
accomplishments. Her art is on permanent display at the
Temecula Valley Arts Council office, having had her watercolor
painting “Vineyard Melodies” was chosen for the 2003 Temecula
Valley “Arts in the Country Festival” poster. Her work can also
be seen on permanent display at the Temecula Valley Balloon and
Wine festival office, as her acrylic work “Wine and Balloon 2”
has been chosen for the official poster for the 2003 20th
annual Wine and Balloon Festival held at Lake Skinner in
Temecula and also received second place for the 2006 poster. In
2005 Gabriele was honored with best of show at the Temecula
Valley Art League Spring Art competition. Her newest
accomplishment the newly released coffee table book on Temecula
Valley, " Temecula Valley, then and now."
Gabriele’s work can be found in various
locations throughout the Temecula Valley, and is in collections
around the world.
