On the Internet, Class of 1945: Consuelo (Eames) HanksFROM: Art of the Sea .comConsuelo [Eames] Hanks was born in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, and attended schools in England, France and the United States. She received a Baccalaureate Degree from the Lycée Francais de New York, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree, Magna Cum Laude, from Wheaton College in Massachusetts. Ms. Hanks began painting while living in Japan. She is mostly a self-taught artist. She has done both magazine and book illustrations, including work for the prestigious New Yorker magazine and William W. Warner’s book Beautiful Swimmers. Although she is best known for her pencil studies and fine drawings, Ms. Hanks’s delicately detailed watercolors have gained wide recognition. Prints of her paintings have enjoyed phenomenal success. Ms. Hanks states that her aim in her work is “to bring out the subtleties, gentleness and memories in things and places” rather than to create a dramatic or exciting emotional statement. And yet her work elicits a strong reaction in the viewer because of its nostalgic, often tender rendition of a particular timeless moment or situation. Ms. Hanks’s favorite subjects come from cruises along the Maine Coast on the family’s Friendship sloop. SOURCE: http://www.artofthesea.com/hankswatercolors.html |
