Midterm Part 2: Journal Article

American Photographer
Raising the Barn Standard

Scott Hagan is well-known across Ohio for his artwork. If you have not heard his name, you may have seen some of his work. Scott Hagan is a well known free-lance barn painter. Scott does not just paint red barns, but rather creates various images on a large scale. Also, Scott paints directly on the surface of the barn. How difficult it must be to paint at such heights and on such a grand scale!

His first news article was published in 1998 and he has continued to appear in The Wall Street Journal, Ohio Magazine, and USA Today. He has traveled 65,000 miles through Ohio to paint 88 different barns in honor of the Ohio bicentennial. This required 645 gallons of paint!

Scott Hagan has painted everything from quilting patterns to college football logos. He also has painted various customized designs for individuals across Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and other states! More examples of his artwork can be seen at www.barnartist.com.
