Steve Hanks - Bio

Few artists can duplicate the emotional depth 
Steve Hanks achieves in his spectacular 
watercolors. Each painting is meticulously drawn
with great attention to detail. All of them reflect 
a moment in time, often a token of the artist's 
memory. 

Hanks was born into a military family in San 
Diego in 1949 and grew up playing tennis and 
surfing along the beaches of Southern 
California. On his first grade report card, a 
teacher attached a prophetic note: "Steve is 
an artist." As time passed, this prediction would 
prove more and more accurate. Steve's work 
has been honored with many awards including 
the Arts for the Parks top 100 artists from 1989 to 
1991. And in 1992, the National Academy of 
Western Art presented him with the Gold Medal 
in Watercolor.

Hanks' talent is obvious and unquestioned. His 
dedication to his art is validated by a lifetime 
of struggle and hard work. His restless mind is 
constantly exploring new frontiers, always 
attempting to touch the unknowable with his 
art.
