Student Loan Debt Art

One of my readers recently sent me images of her student loan statements. She's added her own story to them - let's take a look at a new form of art, that of student loan debt art.

Unknown said...: What a novel idea, love it. Very colorful, HOW about all of us SELLING our "student loan debt art" to pay for the attorneys to sue them???? Sounds good to me since mine was the same time frame. How about VINTAGE student loan debt art?
This could be fun. I will add my own collection after the Sept. 1, 2010 deadline has passed... or maybe not!

She has spent many years in academic environments, giving her an insider's understanding of the varying forms of educational institutions and how they function. Ms. Johannsen worked for an academic publishing company, but now advocates for individuals who are struggling or unable to pay off their student loan debt on Capitol Hill.

In addition to her previous employment, Ms. Johannsen has been a student at multiple levels at multiple institutions, beginning at a community college, graduating with honors from the University of Kansas, and receiving MAs from both the University of Chicago and Brown University (where she also participated in an exchange scholar program with Harvard).
