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.
