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.

Blue


I thought the theme for today was quite ironic.  The subject "blue" the day before Valentine's Day.  I guess that is the mood of some the day before the national day of love.  I will admit that I was once one of those ladies hoping that the special person in my life would remember to give me a Valentine or my mood would have been quite blue.  My blue subject matter is one of my favorite acquisitions a lovely blue bottle that I got from a rummage sale.  Probably not worth a thing, but I just love blue glass and the ornate glass struck a cord with me and I added it to my collection of miscellaneous finds that you can see throughout my home.
