With the Great Depression still looming, Heberling attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh on scholarship from 1936 to 1937. At first he supported himself by playing the trumpet and assisting mural painter George Gray (1907-2004) on commissions in Pennslyvania and in Rochester, New York. After serving in World War II, Heberling returned to studying art, this time at the Art Students League in New York. Heberling's later works highlight his love of the Hudson Valley.
