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 14 of 30: Eyes

14|30

Below you will see my eyes.... which my mom always tells me are my best feature.  I have always received compliments on them because of how dark they are, but to me they are just eyes.  Seeing them in this light has actually given me a different perspective, because looking at just some one's eyes can actually tell you a great deal about a person.  "Eyes are the windows to the soul." Today my eyes have a glow, genuine happiness; and indeed I am very happy today, had a good art day getting into two exhibits.  So you can see that in the little sparkle that's there.  So I pose a question to you, take a good look at your eyes, what story do they tell?
