Mountains at Dusk

“The chance to be creative gives me a chance to go someplace else rather than what we perceive to be the real world.” Hatfield feels that the encouragement from individuals involved with the art program at Inglis House is one source of his inspiration. He takes those individual ideas and tailors them to his bizarre interests. His art becomes a combination of what his art teacher wants and what he wants to bring forth his individuality and uniqueness. Hatfield desires to make his mark, to create something that others are going to see, whether they like it or not. He likes to create things that we do not normally see, he says.
