Hall Groat II, of Manlius New York, embarked on his professional art career at the early age of twelve, influenced by his father Hall Groat - an American Impressionist painter with notoriety throughout the world. A curated exhibit entitled Celebration of the International Year of the Child was held at The Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York. Shortly after in 1979, Groat II was featured in an article in the August 13th edition of People Magazine, noted as an up-and-coming artist.

In 1992 Groat II graduated from Brooklyn College with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Drawing, studying with the classical tonal painter, Lennart Anderson, a descendant of the long lineage of painters, William Merritt Chase, Charles Hawthorne, and Edwin Dickinson. The following year, Groat II was included in a curated exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art, entitled The Hill Becomes The Valley: A Survey of Central New York Landscape Painting. Included in this exhibit were James Cantwell and John Barrow; two notable artists who lived and worked in central New York during the last quarter of the nineteenth century.

He is included in numerous private and public collections both nationally and abroad along with universities and Fortune 500 corporations. These include the Ackerley Corporation, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Contel Cellular, Sheraton Hotel Corporation, Munson-Williams Proctor Institute of Art, The State University of New York system, and Washington Jefferson College.
