Therese received her MFA from the California College of the Arts in Sculpture, and her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in painting and drawing. Her passion for arts education started as an artist in residence in elementary schools and at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts.

Buchmiller worked as program manager for the Walker Art Center collaborating with their design, curatorial and education teams to create award winning printed materials and programs for families. She has taught at numerous colleges and nonprofits locally including Path with Art, WWU, Cornish College of the Arts, and the Seattle Aquarium. Her love of mentorship and advising took shape while teaching at the University of Minnesota, Morris.

Illustrations she completed during the pandemic are now part of the Smithsonian Print and Paper Archive. Her installation and collage often focuses on the capacity of language to create connection or otherness.
