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.

Something You Ate


So lately I have put my "only in moderation" diet on hold and have indulged more often than I would like to admit.  The one thing I have kept up with is making sure that I hit the elliptical machine 5 to 6 days out of the week.  So my weight loss has been stagnant.  I have hit my goal weight earlier in the year, but thought I would challenge myself to lose an additional 10 pounds.  So after this weekend, I told myself that I would go back to my lifestyle change of eating smarter and not forgetting to treat myself on occasion. Today, I snacked on one of my favorite treats a Gala apple. So sweet and so refreshing.
