Steve Hanks is recognized as one of the best watercolor artists
working today. The detail, color and realism of Steve Hanks' paintings
are unheard of in this difficult medium. A softly worn patterned quilt,
the play of light on the thin veil of surf on sand, or the delicate
expression of a child—-Steve Hanks captures these patterns of life
better than anyone.
Steve Hanks was born into a military family in San Diego in 1949. His
father was a highly decorated WWII Navy flyer. Hanks grew up playing
tennis and surfing along the beaches of Southern California. “The ocean
made a strong and lasting impression on me. It was good for the soul to
be out in the water—surfing, swimming, or simply getting in touch with
its mysterious power.”
