Meet Simone Angela Winkler: Portrait Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Simone Angela Winkler and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Simone Angela, what makes you happy? Why?
I’ve been through a lot in life. It is for this reason that I define happiness in very simple terms. Happiness to me means peace. It means being valued and being loved. It means having boundaries in place that disallow people who are not true to themselves into my circle. Happiness means saying no, but it more importantly means to dare to say yes to life, to fully live. to be courageous about seeking out exactly what it is that I need to thrive. Happiness to me means being me, unapologetically, because I am worth it.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Hi, I’m Simone!

I founded eyeCatchLight in 2010 and offer portraits and wedding art customized to enrich your home. I also offer branding sessions that really make the rising entrepreneur shine.

I love showing my clients that they are beautiful, inside and out.

What I love most is that I specialize in printing these majestic portraits and turning your photographs into works of art. To me, a photograph is not complete until it is finalized in the form of a beautiful piece of wall art and can be enjoyed every day, for many years to come.

Too many things these days are digital, they disappear in a drawer on a USB stick or on a hard disk or cloud. And we don’t look at them enough! It means so much to be able to match my wall art to the interior design of your home and your personality. What fun to create your new mantle piece or a carefully curated treasure chest of printed memories!!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would seek out the quiet places, the ocean waves, the forests, the peace.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’ve gone through a lot in life. I credit a handful of emotionally healthy people that have allowed me to escape from my abusive and toxic environment, to find peace, quiescence, and self-trust. Among these is most notably my husband Karl.
