Congratulations to Jen Steffen, a student at the Art
Institutes International MN in the photography program, whose class is
graduating this quarter. In celebration they held a gallery exhibition
“F[R]AME” which showcased the work of five aspiring photographers as they
earned their Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Jen Steffen is one of the five
students. Her work creates evocative and esoteric images that illustrate a
story or emotion that appear to come from another time, place or dimension.
