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.

Abstract Winter...

What I enjoy so much about the kind of work that I do, is when a piece can actually surprise you.  I had recently snapped some images of the lovely snow that had fallen and began editing a couple of images when I decided to really play and stretch the boundaries of one image in particular.  On its own, it was a simple image of snow softly laying on the branches of a pine tree, nothing too spectacular.  Once I finished editing the image, there lay a beautiful abstract image of snow that puts a creative spin on this subject matter.  I was pretty thrilled with the end result of my work and wanted to share it with you!  This image along with all of my work is available via my website www.simonehester.com (if you have an opportunity please visit and leave a comment) and if you or someone you know are interested in purchasing, please visit www.simone-hester.artistwebsites.com. Thanks a bunch!
