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.

Photo 10 of 30: A Childhood Memory

10|30

This was something that I originally thought would be quite difficult.  But then it came to me... one of the earliest memories that I have from my childhood was my beloved Tiger.  I was adopted as a baby and the item that I attached to initially was a giant stuffed Tiger that my dad had.  It is one of those memories that I can still remember the feel and the smell of it.  That tiger brought me lots of happiness.  It was a part of my childhood until the ripe age of 3 or 4.  I would sit on it and pretend that I was traveling in the pages of Jungle Book and he was my great protector.  My picture also shows my dad and my beloved first dog ever, Butch.  Happy times, a happy life.
