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 9 of 30: Someone You Love

9|30

Okay, so this was not a difficult task, but I can not go with "someone you love" it would have to be someones.... how can I choose? I am a wife and a mother and will never draw a line or play favorites and despite this challenge, I refuse to single out one love in my life. Romantically, hands down, of course it is my husband, but my family is the true winner.  I love everything about being a wife and a mother, and love absolutely everything about my family.  So the someone becomes someones or something for those of you who follow rhetoric literally. What made the task difficult, trying to get all three of them to pose, husband down for the count with a cold, and the kids are at the age where it is difficult to get them to show love for one another and patience simply runs out of steam.  So below is the next best thing (and an opportunity for those of you to catch a glimpse of my platinum blond days... had this color for just 6 weeks).
