Steve Hanks is recognized as one of the finest watercolor artists today. The detail, color, and realistic expressiveness of Steve Hanks's paintings are unheard of in the difficult medium of painting, watercolor. Soft patterned quilts, light and shadow on the thin waves on the beach, or delicate expressions of children — Steve Hanks captures these patterns of life better than anyone. Steve Hanks was born in 1949 to a military family in San Diego. His father was a beautifully decorated World War II Navy pilot. Steve Hanks grew up playing tennis and surfing on the beaches of Southern California. "The ocean has left a deep and lasting impression on me. Going out to sea is good for the soul – surfing, swimming, or just getting in touch with its mysterious powers. ”

Steve Hanks called his style "emotional realism." He often covers or removes the faces of the characters, not only allowing the viewer to imagine the faces, but also allowing the entire character to express emotions. Backlighting is also an iconic element of his style. "Sunlight has become one of my favorite themes. I'm fascinated by how it filters things and makes an entire room full of color. Usually my paintings are more about sunlight than anything else. His marriage to Laura and the arrival of three children provided new inspiration to the artist. During those years, many carefully rendered home scenes were added to the portfolio.
