Lorraine Henjum
Artist
I grew up drawing from a very young age. My mom was a visual artist and my dad was a photographer, so I was surrounded by inspiration.
I was educated in fine arts at North Hennepin Community College, the University of Minnesota and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. For a number of years I've used my creativity in designing adult learning programs. Now I'm back at North Hennepin Community College to complete a graphic arts degree program and study web development.
