| Our excellent Design and Framing team is comprised as follows: Ben Stephens (36 Years) Susie Severson (20 Years) Susie has been with Stephens' since 1985. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education from Bemidji State University. She has taught art in the public education system and had also been involved in the printing industry before coming to Stephens' Art and Frame. She has a son, George, now 15. We know that when you meet Susie, you will agree that she is a real delight, a great designer, and a tremendous asset to our company. Debbie Grasley (20 Years) Debbie came to Minnesota from Marietta, Ohio in 1985, joining us in 1987. She previously worked at "The Poise 'n Ivy Shop", a counted cross-stitch, quilting, and frame shop located in Ohio. She currently holds the title "Production and Framing Manager" for our entire operation. Her skills, efficiency and extremely cautious manner, as witnessed by us on a day to day basis, should waylay any fears you may have about the safety of your precious artwork that has been left with us. Debbie has two wonderful sons, Michael (28) and Stephen (24) and is married to Robert. Rest assured that when Debbie is handling your framing project, that it could not be in better hands. Tatjana Spiering (5 years) Tanya came to Minnesota from the Ukraine in 2000. She has several degrees from the Universities in her native country. She spent several years working in the framing and sales departments at our competition. She has been with us since 2004. Her design skills and soft spoken personality make her a delight to work with. You will appreciate Tanya's attention to detail and conservative design skills. She incorporates a little bit of the "old country" into her framing designs. Nicole Burton(4 years) Nicole is the youngest on our staff, just 19 years old, but she has worked in the framing industry for the last 5 years, having been employed by her relatives in the southern metro area. She is a skilled frame assembler and knows that the customer is her final judge. She currently attends college at a local institute, but is still able to work almost full time at Stephens'. We enjoy having such youthful enthusiasm on our staff. |
