Matthew Hatt is a Canadian artist. Born in Toronto in 1975. Matthew's work has been seen all over and has been an inspiration for many up and coming artists. The inspiration for Matthew Hatt's body of work is derived from a variety of sources, most notably the Group of Seven. Matthew sees his work as a personal narrative, a collection of stories that have shaped his youth. He has focused his talents on painting portraits. By using self-developed drawing and painting processes, he has always found ways to express himself with his artwork using acrylics and oils. He utilizes intense colors to give character to the canvas, which represent Matthew’s approach to his own spontaneous creativity.

Born in Toronto, after spending many years in Halifax Nova Scotia, Matthew has been making art at his studio in Gold River for several years. Matthew's art hangs in both American and Canadian homes.
