Eisert Hall has formal training in drawing and painting from a number of universities and colleges in Canada. She has received awards within these institutions. After completing professional training, significant awards have given Hall the opportunity to travel and study in Europe completing a variety of projects. Art works have been exhibited in galleries from New York to Sante Fe and across Canada from Montreal to Vancouver. Hall's work is found in public and private collections.

Eisert Hall now lives on Malcolm Island which is off of the west coast of Canada. She found this "settling" place after years of travel and residencies in large urban centres. In this statement she describes the landscape and its effects on her through time:

Nature is omnipresent on Malcolm Island. At first I found that it overwhelmed me. The water, mountains and trees and often heavy low skies were almost smothering. Time was necessary but eventually I found my first love again, the natural environment. I took solace in the temperamental coast line with the many moods and mists, the terrain, its trees and wilderness and the sound of wind in the trees.

Through my studio windows I have seen the sun rise and go down behind the mountains. I have seen birds such as the finch, woodpeckers, thrush and robins. Even the snipes have tried to create nests in the yard grass. Trees have also engaged my attention again. These forms of life are the subjects of my work today. They have become an integral part of my identity as it was in the beginning (Hall, 2005).
