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 11 of 30: Something Blue

11|30

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue..... a timeless expression of good luck for every bride as she prepares to walk down the aisle.  My something blue was also something old, my grandmother's cross.  It is a 70 year old beautiful piece of jewelry that I was honored to carry with me when I married my husband and I am gladly sharing this sentimental piece with my best friend next week as she exchanges vows with her soon to be hubby.  The cross means so much to me, as it did to my mother, and hopefully my daughter when I pass it down to her.  It is a classic and unyielding symbol of a mother's love to her child.  It was given to my mother when my grandmother passed (my mother was a very small child) and when she felt I was ready she gave it to me.  So I share this with you....
