Pat Liddy

Pat Liddy, a Dubliner by birth, has always been fascinated by the history and the built and natural environment of his native city.

In May 2011, Pat received the prestigious Lord Mayor’s Award in recognition of his dedication to raising awareness of Dublin’s architectural and cultural heritage.

The Artist

As an artist Pat has, since the 1970s, captured the great highlights of the city, as well as many areas previously overlooked.  Exhibitions of his work have appeared many times in Dublin, and further afield in Europe. This work has helped to raise awareness of Dublin’s heritage and often led to the protection of places that might otherwise have been lost.

In 1983 Pat accompanied the Irish traditional group “The Chieftains” to China, resulting in an exhibition of the groundbreaking visit and the landscapes of China, a country that had not yet embraced modernity, in the Chester Beatty Library.
