"In the past few years," says Steve Hanks, "I have done a number of paintings depicting a woman during each step in the healing process. In 'Moving On' she finally feels the strength you get when you are ready to move forward. Whether absolutely certain or not, she lifts her chin as she strides down the beach. Sunlight reveals on her face a little inward smile. There is hope."
