Steve Hanks grew up in northern California and studied at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. It was drawing class that captured his interest and he focused his energy on the study of anatomy and figure drawing. Initially, he drew in pencil and painted in oils. Eventually, an allergic reaction to oils forced him to experiment with watercolors and found he could create watercolors as “finished” as oils. Hanks prefers to explore memories and emotions-“People see different things in my paintings because we all have different backgrounds and feelings”. http://www.stevehanksstudio.com
