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 6 of 30: From A Low Angle

6|30

So today's image is the exact opposite of yesterdays.... the opposite direction.  Since yesterday's image was taken from the John Hancock building, I thought it would be cool to use an image that was taken of the John Hancock building, from the lowest angle, on the street.  Since architecture is my favorite subject to shoot, I decided to put my signature touch on the image and edit it.  This image will be available for sale via my two sites, http://simonehester.com (for a signed & framed print) or http://simone-hester.artistwebsites.com (a friendlier price point and variety of sizes and finishes).
