Tushda imkoniyatdan foydalanib, bu jarayonda foydali martabani tark etish hech qachon oson emas, lekin bu Stiv Hamrik uchun o'z samarasini berdi. 1981 yilda Stiv dam olish kunlaridagi sevimli mashg'ulotlarini yovvoyi tabiat rassomi sifatida to'liq vaqtli martabaga aylantirish uchun ko'chmas mulkdagi karerasini ortda qoldirdi.
"Men har doim ochlikdan o'layotgan rassom bo'lishdan tashvishlanardim, lekin siz faqat bir marta yashadingiz va men uchun bu o'zim yoqtirgan professional ish bilan shug'ullanishni anglatardi", dedi Stiv. "Bu hayotimdagi eng yaxshi qarorlardan biri edi".
Stiv o'z ilhomini ochiq havoda o'tkazgan vaqtdan, odatda ov va baliq ovlashdan oladi. U atrofidagi tabiiy go'zallikdan ta'sirlanadi va u tashqarida bo'lganida tez-tez bir nechta fotosuratlar oladi, bu esa u o'z studiyasiga qaytib kelganida ilhom bo'lib xizmat qiladi.
Rassomlikdan tashqari, Stiv bronza haykallar, yog'och o'ymakorligi va o'rdak, qushlar va uni o'rab turgan boshqa hayvonlarning qatron quymalarini yaratadi.
Stiv o'z iste'dodidan foydalanib, Ducks Unlimited va boshqa tabiatni muhofaza qilish guruhlariga auktsionlar uchun rasmlarni sovg'a qilib, katta manfaatlarga xizmat qiladi. U buni o'zi sevadigan va ishini ilhomlantiradigan tabiiy resurslarni saqlashga yordam berishning bir usuli deb biladi.
"Ular to'plagan pullar yerga qaytganidan xursandman - bu bizga har qachongidan ham ko'proq kerak. Men buni o'z burchim deb bilaman. Tabiiy resurslarimizdan katta foyda oldim", deb tushuntirdi Stiv.

- Minnesota Trout va Salmon markasi g'olibi, 1986, 1992, 2004, 2015
