Like most of artist Steve Hanks paintings, there are rich layers of meaning and
emotion in "Field of Dreams," his entry into the 2012 prestigious, national
invitational Prix de West. Everything in this vertical composition points to the young
girls dreams as the eye is drawn from her Western boots to her hair to the horses
face to the road that carries you finally to the shining mountains on the horizon.
The connection between the girl and her horse is intimate and we can
practically smell the animal and feel its breath on her shoulder. Strong
and absolutely trustworthy, the beloved horse is her most faithful
confidant. This painting is about hopes and dreams that are shared and
communicated in silence. Art can do that, too, says Hanks. This
spectacular landscape of a young womans dreams will inspire everyone
who sees it and warm any room in your home.

On the surface, the story behind this painting is straight forward, begins Steve Hanks. This
young woman has decided that it is time for her to leave home and make her own way in the
world. The choice is hers and she is confident and self assured in her decision. But as it is
with most of my paintings, there is a deeper, personal story to it. Years ago I painted a
piece called Traveling with Dad. It showed me holding my daughter on an empty
platform at a deserted railway stop. I painted that image at what was, without a doubt, the
lowest point of my life. I was on my own raising two kids and the painting truly captured that
feeling of the unknown future that we were heading toward. Youll notice that this young
woman carries the same suitcase I had on the platform.

Much of Steve Hanks art carries subtle symbolism with children as the
focal point. These paintings are filled with his hopes for the young.
After all, what is more pleasing than a baby bath, except possibly two
babies in the bath and in this particular painting, they are a friends
fraternal twins, a boy and girl. Curiosity and fascination with water
begins at the very beginning. These two are splashing, patting and
swirling their way to figuring out the physical world and each other. Is
one leading the way or is the other giving orders? This simple
summer backyard scene by artist Steve Hanks will find a home in
your playroom, nursery or bathroom.

I didnt grow up in the South, says artist Steve Hanks, but I love the feel of it, especially
Savannah, Charleston and New Orleans. These places fit the emotions I use in my art.
The young woman in this painting is lost in a moment of reflection but her posture is
relaxed anticipation. Shes ready for whats coming her way.
"In the Warm Savannah Sun" captures the most compelling qualities of Steve
Hanks artwork. The single feminine figure, defined by sunlight and shadow,
caught up in private emotions but placed in a specific physical location. We
can feel the warm sunlight on her shoulders and the cool stone tile underfoot.
The ubiquitous wrought iron fences of Savannah are here, as well as its
beloved live oak trees with Spanish moss in the background.

I find those straight, long roads that transverse the barrenness of nowhere so intriguing. Who
lives out there, what do they do? Imagine having grown up in one of those small Midwestern
towns and what it is like to decide it is time to leave that small-town life behind? asks Steve
Hanks. I think we all want to believe we would take the road less traveled, but are we
prepared for the inclement weather or the time that may pass before opportunity offers us a
ride? Certainly, this girl radiates inner confidence and everything about her, right down to her
off-beat clothes, represents one who would choose to take the road less traveled.
With "Reflecting on Indian Beach," Steve Hanks shows just why he is regarded as the best
watercolor artist painting in America today. It is a definitive combination of beauty, emotion
and environment. There is a big difference between the beaches of the Northern Pacific
Coast and those down in Southern California, says Hanks.
US:
As we grow older our perspective broadens and nowhere is this more obvious than with
children. And, as is so often the case with a painting by Steve Hanks, the beauty and seeming
simplicity of the work gives no hint of the complexity beneath.

"This private dance on the foggy Oregon beach expresses joy and freedom," says Steve Hanks. "As
the young dancer twirls, we learn that we are not the audience this dance is meant for." From the
girl's simple yet powerful reflection in the water to the sunlight dissipating through the misty sky, this
beautiful work of art will make an uplifting and inspiring addition to any wall.
Collectors love Steve Hanks work for his heartwarming portraits of children
and families, his sensitive depictions of women and his prodigious skill with
watercolors. The March/April 2008 issue of "Art of the West" which carried a
feature on the artist and "American Artist Watercolor" magazine declared him
a Modern Master and a watercolorist who inspires and informs in their
Winter 2008 issue. Their cover image was this Hanks exquisite painting
"Beyond the Horizon."

When a child is learning a musical instrument, says Steve Hanks, its difficult for the student as well
as their family to patiently endure the practice time. The presence of the cat in "Duet" shows that
practice has paid off and now the music is so comforting that even the family cat will stay around to
enjoy it.
My paintings of children are about my hopes and dreams for them, and about my
desire to expose them to the arts: literature, art, music, dance and theater. I want to
encourage them to make decisions for themselves, to stand on their own two feet, to
think for themselves and to reach for their dreams.

Bewitching
"I believe that art can be more than just pretty pictures. Art should bring comfort to
people. It should be by our side when we go through good times and hard times," says
Steve Hanks. "Art should elicit a thought provoking examination of one's own life and
place in the world." "We all experience pain, but there are great moments of
pleasure all around us too. These moments may often be fleeting and get
by us before we are able to fully comprehend their beauty and importance.
I have tried to capture a few of these moments in paintings that can be
savored for years to come." The beauty of this joyful moment is infectious.
Steve Hanks has succeeded in capturing that perfect, uplifting energy in "To
Dance Before the Sea and Sky."
To Touch a Heart
LIMITED EDITION CANVAS
Image size: 6"w x 9"h.
Edition Size:150 US: $165.00
As the sunlight caresses her skin, the rapt subject of Steve Hanks' striking new portrait
"To Touch a Heart" is carried away by the tide of her emotion. The dramatic light and
posture exquisitely captures this singular private moment. "The nudes are basically the
foundation of everything I paint," says the artist. "I return to paint nudes to sharpen up
my ability to paint the figure."
"I often paint women near the water," says artist Steve Hanks, "and each
body of water has a different meaning, a different feeling." A painting of a
woman in the ocean, for example, offers perspective and the sense that
"your problems are no larger than a grain of sand." The subject of a
lakeside portrait may be seeking solace and a sense of security. A river
painting, however, is different. "A river is heading somewhere, it's got
direction, "says Steve. "'Listening to the River' is about listening to the
world you're in and waiting for its guidance. The woman is thinking about
where she's headed." Steve Hanks' highly realistic watercolors reveal
emotion through composition, color and lighting. His lyrical sensibility and
unparalleled technical skill with watercolors have made him one of the
most sought-after artists painting today.

A woman stands in the shallow water, lost in contemplation. As the cool waves
wash gently over her feet, she feels the warmth of the sun on her back and
shoulders and is thankful for her surroundings, for the blessings in her life and for
new beginnings. "New Shoreline," like all of Steve Hanks' work, is rich with layers
of symbolism and meaning. His titles are often the key to understanding the deeper
message waiting to be discovered in each painting, and they often have more than
one meaning.
This young woman stands on a new shoreline that is unfamiliar and yet
it opens a new world of opportunities. Waves wash away the superficial
layers of her past as she prepares herself for the many challenges and
possibilities the future offers. She stands ready on the "New Shoreline."

The mystery of what lies below the surface is one of waters most fascinating
attractions. The same can be said of the paintings of Steve Hanks, where water
and its presence have a nomenclature all their own.
Throughout the history of art, great artists admired and then captured the human
form on canvas. Steve Hanks' exquisite combination to this timeless art form is

The art of Steve Hanks is rich with symbolism and metaphor. His titles are a key
to understanding the deeper message waiting to be discovered in each painting,
and, often have more than one meaning. 'From a Higher Level' is, on one hand a
relationship piece, and on the other, about the necessity of getting above the
messiness of lifes daily grind. Simple but conscious acts can lift us out of the toil
and finally place us on a higher ground, Hanks says. The piece is also about
communication, and how the rider and horse converse without necessarily using
words. The rider and horse can also represent the relationship between art and
the ability of art to communicate beyond words 'From a Higher Level.'

Early in my career, after I got married, most of my art was about family.
Because I'm a figurative artist, it was natural that I'd draw strength from
that strong family connections. The power that I got from painting
children was tremendous because that's what I was going through as a
father. For an artist like myself, who conveys powerful emotion, there
was no greater gift than being able to paint the unconditional love I
experienced when my children were born."
