(1918-1997)
Norma Buchheit taught at West Seneca Central High School in New York, where she grew up. She had been a commercial artist who owned and operated The Paint Box shop in Buffalo, NY, with her husband, Richard Buchheit. They moved to Florida, where Norma taught art at Kenwood Elementary School for twenty years, retiring in 1981. After her husband died, she returned to Western New York in 1989 to be closer to family. Several of her handmade Christmas cards were donated to the Burchfield Penney Art Center Archives by Harley Spiller, whose parents, Harriet and Mortimer Spiller received them. Mortimer Spiller made a notation for her artist's file that "Norma did large mural of H & M in NYC that is in ping pong room. Also the green spittoon turtle."
