Born in India, Patrick Hickey moved to Ireland in 1948. Predominantly known for his watercolours, etchings and lithographs, he originally
studied architecture at University college Dublin. After graduating he worked for the architect Michael Scott. In 1957 he won an Italian
state scholarship and studied printmaking at the Scuola del Libro, Urbino. Influenced by Japanese techniques, Hickey was instrumental in
founding the Graphic Studio in an Upper Mount Street basement in 1961. An authority on Irish delftware, he later became head of painting
at the National College of Art & Design.
