About The Artist.... Simone Hester

Simone Hester was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised on the far south side of the city. She found an interest in art at an early age. At the recommendation of her teachers, she began private art lessons at a small art studio in the suburbs of Chicago. She was tutored, mentored and exposed to a variety of art mediums from calligraphy, etching, Chinese watercolors, acryllics, and oil painting. There she developed a love for drawing and painting. She broadened her art education by taking a variety of elective art classes in high school and college. Upon college graduation, her first professional position allowed her to work in graphic designs and further her knowledge of computers. Once given a digital camera, she combined her love of computers, painting, and photographs to develop her very own technique in creative digital photography. The computer has become her paintbrush and allows her to stretch the natural boundaries that a typical photograph is held to. She recently left the traditional workforce to work on her art full time and contribute to her website (http://www.simonehester.com/) and write her blog on photography, art, and everything else she finds creative.

Good Times In Michigan...

Have camera? Will travel! Vacations are the one must carry camera event because you desire to document and eventually share your experience.  As an artistic photographer, I see pieces of work where ever my eyes fall. Whether it is the wildlife, scenery or families enjoying themselves there is a story and subsequently a piece of art that normally follows. How great are vacations?!?!

My family and I are currently enjoying ourselves in the great state of Michigan. And I am currently blogging this from the phone. We are staying with family friends and having a blast. The great thing about this wonderful mini vacation has been the numerous photo opportunities that have come my way. So stay tuned for wonderful photos and the image below is just a teaser. It's a photograph of the lake that we are staying on.
