Carl Adolph Hjalmer Persson Redin, a native of Sweden, immigrated to the United States in 1913. He spent a short time in Chicago but the artist suffered from tuberculosis and soon needed to seek out a drier climate. He settled in New Mexico where he taught at the University of New Mexico in 1929-30 before moving on to Texas, opening a studio in Lubbock. Redin taught at the Texas Technological College before moving to the Palomar Mountains of California in the late 1930s and again to Los Gatos in 1940.

Redin gained national recognition for his landscape paintings depicting Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
