1993, Steiger went to the Studio Art Centers International, Florence,
Italy to study graphic design, sculpture, jewelry and batik. From
1995 to 1996 Steiger attended Il Bisonte, Scuola Internazionale
d’ Arte Grafica in Florence, Italy studying intaglio, woodcut,
paper conservation. At this time she had a solo exhibition in Florence.
In 2002 Steiger received a Masters of Fine Art in Printmaking from

Ms Steiger lives and works in Albuquerque in a variety of mediums.
Nature has long been and continues to be the greatest inspiration
for her work. She executes exquisite works on paper placing insects
and birds in garden-like tableaus or in strangely beautiful architectural
settings. Steiger’s varied training gives her the agility
to express herself beautifully, using vastly different techniques
and combination of materials, whether it be prints, paintings or
installations.
