Born in 1942, Peter Hickey graduated from OCAD and worked in the commercial art field in Toronto for 13 years before fulfilling his goal of moving his family to live in the Madoc countryside. He was able to earn his living working as the head of the art department at Centre Hastings Secondary School and at Quinte Secondary School. During these years, he documented in his crisp watercolour, many renderings of the old houses, churches and farms throughout the community. In 2001 Peter exhibited his work in the John M Parrott Art Gallery in Belleville and other galleries as well. After retirement from teaching, Peter pursued his passion until ill health brought closure when he passed away in 2019.
