Bio

I received my BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago 2007. Currently working towards my MFA at Columbia College Chicago in Interdisciplinary Book and Paper Arts. Have served as adjunct faculty to undergraduate classes, worked as the Print Production fellow with Brad Freeman (JAB) operating a Heidelberg GTO, and have taught workshops. I operate under the name “Oxblood Press” when doing my own production work, small chapbooks, cards, tshirts, stationary, the like.Volunteered at CBPA between schoolin’, was employed as a production silkscreen printer, and lived in Madison, Wisc for a few years. There I helped start up the Madison Printmaking Cooperative which offered studio spaces for artists working in silkscreen, relief, and letterpress. This was along side *many* amazing folks: like Tracy Honn of Silver Buckle and Sara Wrzinski of Raky Press and Erica Hess of Golden Egg, just to name a few. Currently I have silkscreen equipment, work with low relief techniques, and have a little Kelsey 6×10 and some type that is waiting for me when I’m done here!—Bio from website:Midwestern cynicism with light wit and witticism. Coniferous trees, sturdy horned beasties and their fine feathered friends. Heather R. Buechler is a sassy sauerkraut raised in Wisconsin on marshland surrounded by corn fields and Holsteins. A fine art printmaker first, she is also a craftswoman with a fascination for old world German arts from scherenschitte, pyrography, sausage making, preserving and fermenting.She can print, and make a mean sausage.Currently pursuing her MFA at Columbia College Chicago.—–To see my fine artworks, please visit http://www.hrbuechler.com.
