Jeanette Schumacher is the featured artist at the Bakersfield Art Center for the month of July.

Jeanette was born in Indonesia and is a Dutch citizen. Her family immigrated to the United States in 1960 to Camarillo, California. She lived there for 45 years. married and raised a family.
Because of her father’s job, Jeanette has traveled through her childhood and was exposed to different cultures that left an Impression on her.
As a self-taught artist, she believes that her talent was gifted from God.
Art isn’t always happy for her but the results are a good diversion from the problems and stress in her life. Art really helped her in a self-care process to overcome chronic pain in 2005.
For the last 5 years, Jeanette has been teaching art, seeing and other skills while donating her time with other seniors at an ADELANTE Group in Arvin, California in self-care healing processes. The group consists of elderly ladies who have immigrated from Mexico and raised families and worked in the fields. Adelante is a place where they can heal from their illness and stress.
Her classes are held at the Arvin Community Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
