On February 2, our community lost a member, Debbie Haggman. Debbie was an active part of the art scene in Blaine, and helped create and participated in many art shows. Her beautiful watercolors were well recognized and awarded. She also taught watercolor classes at the Jansen in Lynden. Her health kept her from full participation in BAC, but her heart was always dedicated to enriching community through the arts. We will miss her for many reasons, but through her legacy of paintings, we can remember her with joy.
Debbie’s paintings are on display at The Great Blue Heron through March 2.
Please join us in her celebration of life this Sunday, March 2 at 4pm, at Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club in the Palmer Room.
