Marc Hatfield began drawing, painting, and sculpting in early childhood, and spent his formative years traveling to his mother’s native France, where he routinely visited the museums and galleries of Paris and painted on location in the villages and countryside of Normandy and the Pas-de-Calais with his father, accomplished artist and university art professor Gene Hatfield.After studying art at the University of Central Arkansas, Hatfield earned a degree in Architecture from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. He now paints in oils, creating highly energized impressions of his subjects using bold colors, exaggerated perspectives, and thick impastos. Paris, New Orleans, Memphis, and Scottsdale are among the cities in which Hatfield’s work has been exhibited, and his paintings can be found in corporate and private collections in the U.S. and abroad.Hatfield lives and paints in his home studio in Loveland, Colorado, often working from photographs taken by his wife of 27 years, Leigh, who captures images during the couple’s hikes through the Rocky Mountains across all four seasons.
