About hayden

Hayden G. Hall was born and raised in Clarksdale, MS. After a career as a classically French-trained chef and restaurateur, Hayden decided to follow his passion of pursuing art as a full-time career. He had no formal art education.  By sheer determination and God’s grace, Hayden traded in his chef’s knife for a paintbrush. Most days Hayden can be found in his Delta studio just outside Clarksdale. Collected works of his can be found in homes throughout the Delta, Memphis, Oxford and beyond.

Painting Southern Landscapes is where he finds the most inspiration and peace. Hayden and his wife Erica have lived in D.C. and New Orleans, nurturing their creative souls with new wonder, but something quietly alluring about the Delta always seems to draw them back home.

“I paint mostly from memory. Memory inspired by my surroundings. Ever since I was a kid, I have been in awe of the gorgeous and mysterious landscapes of the Mississippi Delta. I always knew there was a reason that I was so drawn to the Delta landscapes, and now I know why” -H.G.H.
