Not only was Mr. Hatfield well-known in the arts community, but also on the Kentucky pageant circuit. He was a certified pageant judge for Kentucky festivals and county fairs, and was also certified by the Miss America organization. He was frequently invited to judge pageants all across Kentucky.

One of his best-known works is the Estill County Bicentennial Mural that graces the side of the building at the end of Main Street in Irvine.

He also designed the locomotive mold used in the "LocoMagic" public art project sponsored by the Estill County Chamber of Commerce.

The artworks were then placed in various areas around the community.
For years, Mr. Hatfield operated an art gallery and studio in the Colonial Hotel building, where he had grown up. The Colonial Hotel was the same building where his father, the late Guy Hatfield, published the Citizen Voice & Times. He studied art under Russell and Deloris McClanahan, having started painting when he was 12 years old. His artistic talent resulted in his winning the "Estill's Got Talent" contest in 2010. Following in his mentors' footsteps, he was also an art instructor in his studio.
When he was younger, Mr. Hatfield served as a legislative page for the late State. Rep. Clarence D. Noland Jr. He had also attended the Governor's School for the Arts during his scholastic years, and was a Kentucky Colonel.
A graduate of Estill County High School, Mr. Hatfield attended the University of Louisville and earned an associate of arts degree in art from Eastern Kentucky University in 2004. He had also served as advertising manager of the Citizen Voice & Times during his career.
