"Any healing process can be a lengthy one," says Steve Hanks. "Often it can be helped by attempting to visualize the future. Such is the inspiration for A New Beginning. This is, in fact, the final painting in a series of three that have used the ascent of the staircase to track this woman's passage. By reaching the landing at the top, she has completed her growing process and is ready to move on. This staircase reminds us to take things in life one step at a time, that a promise of reward and satisfaction-the top of the staircase-and a new view of the world around you, is a situation you can help create for yourself. I used a different model for this painting than I did in the first two, to further illustrate the metamorphosis: you are not the same person at the top of the staircase that you were at the bottom."

이 작가의 작품은 사실적입니다. 하지만 아름다운 사실주의죠. 이 작품은 최근에 release 된 작품중 하나이구요. 작가의 작품속에 등장하는 모델들을 만나고싶어하는 사람들도 많답니다.  특히 누드작품일때는 더더욱^^;
