Theresa Weinheimer received her architecture degree in Washington D.C., worked for an award-winning architect Edward Larrabee Barnes in New York City and later for Hugh Newell Jacobsen, a much-published residential architect in Washington D.C.
After working for a few other firms, she and her husband, Steve, set up their own company. In her retirement here in Tbilisi, Theresa is teaching art history to high school students and recently created an Art Discussion Group for the members of International Women's Association Georgia. Over the years she had supported many charity projects, including for the children suffering from different diseases, and at present is supporting children affected by the war in Ukraine. 
The lecture at IDS was dedicated to works of Louis Kahn, Richard Serra, Frank Gehry, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and James Turrell – the architects and artists who continue to inspire many generations of architects and designers.
