Illustrations By Sarah Hickey


Hickey’s series of female idols are inspired by images of women from a variety of contexts, histories and worlds. The complex layering of imagery and patterns depict beauty, spiritual iconography and the feminine.

In five years, Hickey has held nine solo shows and participated in nineteen group shows.
