Biography

EDWARD HAJDIN

American Landscape Impressionist

Edward Hajdin was born in Wheeling West Virginia. Today he is known for his unique interpretation of city scenes and landscapes that he paints with a combination of palette knives and brushes. Hajdin knew at the tender age of five that he wanted to be an artist. He was only eight years old when he began taking painting lessons from artist Emma Hayhurts and then studied under the tutelage of Roy Riethmiller for eight years. After high school he attended William E. Gebhardt School of Art in Cincinnati, Ohio, in addition to private lessons under the supervision of Harry Holbert and Frederick Taubes.

Over the years, Hajdin has had many successful exhibitions and his palette-knife technique has been praised by critics. His career as a landscape painter has taken him from his current home in Pittsburgh to the capitals of Europe. He has traveled extensively from Paris and London to the Brittany Coast of France, scenes that often appear often in his paintings. His renderings of American cities such as Pittsburgh, New York, and Chicago are also among his favorite subjects, and highly sought after by collectors.

Edward Hajdin has devoted his entire life to painting. His works hang in private collections throughout the United States and have been collected by Equibank, The Duquesne Club, and the City of Pittsburgh.
