Parker Hall came from Colorado to attend the California School of Fine Arts in 1927. Some of his work is represented at the Library of Congress. He was married to fellow artist Maxine Albro. His Coit Tower mural demonstrates a knowledge of college sports wherein both the University of California and Stanford are represented. Hall lived in Carmel, and preferred to keep his Coit Tower work in the distant past.

Though known primarily as a sculptor, Hall was an accomplished etcher and lithographer.  He died in Carmel, CA in 1982
