He received his BA from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota in 1966, his MA from the University of Wisconsin in 1968, and his MFA in 1969 from the University of Wisconsin as well. Therien served in the U.S. Air Force from 1969 to 1973 and became Associate Professor of Art at Midland Luthern College after his honorable discharge. From 1990, he is Professor of Art at Midland Lutheran Collesge, Fremont, Nebraska.

I am a traditional realist who employs solid form, rendering and, generally, high contrast play of light and dark areas."
