Jeffrey Engel was born in 1971 near Frankfurt, West Germany to a German mother and Swiss-German American father stationed there by the US Army. He grew up in Michigan and Florida, surrounded by friends of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities due to his father’s work for a major international chemical company. Art, the universal language, was his favorite language. He spend most of his time drawing and painting and won many contests in his childhood. In 1993 and 1994, he finished his studies in art and graphic design at the School of Visual Arts and Dance at Florida State University. Some of his early influences occurred during the advent of digital imaging and “electronic art” in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, when the field was still a frontier and people were exploring the medium as a new method for communication rather than a replacement for the old methods. In 1994 he co-founded the Graduating Artists exhibition at FSU. Graduating Artists was an entrepreneurial inspiration to showcase their and their fellow non-BFA students’ work since the School of Visual Arts only funded a BFA exhibition. It was this pioneering spirit that Jeffrey was always interested in and thinking about in the periphery.He is now exploring the bridge between traditional polaroid and large format photography with modern digital photographic imaging and output, effectively bridging his art background with his photographic present.
