printmaker, was one of ten artists of the 'Melbourne Popular Art Group’ (including Noel Counihan , Peter Miller , et al.) who produced a folio of 14 linocuts, Eureka 1854-1954 (Melbourne 1954), that paid tribute to 'the stand of the Ballarat miners in the Eureka Stockade’ (copy TMAG). Ailsa O’Connor did no.7, 'Building the Stockade’ (and erecting the flag); Pat O’Connor did no.3, 'The Licence Hunt’; no.13, 'Trampling the Flag’, is by Naomi Schipp and the last of the set, no.14 'After the Battle’ (a mother mourning over her son’s dead body), is by Mary Zuvella .

There is some speculation that Pat O’Connor might also be known as Vic O’Connor.
