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.

Phone


Well what can I possibly say about today's challenge?  The phone.  Some may question what would we do without them and others may yearn for the simplicity of the times before.  I probably fall somewhere in between.  I love my phone, it is simply my go to device in front my iPad and iPod (will be getting the iPhone soon) because everything is there.  I can google when I want, make a phone call and set up my calendar.  I can ring out someone purchase of one of my fine art prints.... it is simply the best thing around.  But there are days when I look back at simpler times and wish that I was not so connected.  Be able to get off the grid so to speak.  But I can choose that option by simply pressing the power button, eh?
