She studied at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Applied Arts), from which she graduated in the early 1930s (her name could be found among those of professional applied artists in the address book of Vienna Artists issued in 1934 - see our last image). As a Jewish woman, Hedi Schick escaped Nazi persecution in Austria, came to Britain in the late 1930s and began working, producing theatre backdrops and scene painting. She received British Citizenship in 1947. She met Clement and Wilfred Hall who ran a gallery in Islington (London) and began working for them as a picture restorer. Later on she exhibited with the Islington Art Circle during the 1950s and 1960s. Much of this work was based on her family's experiences in the Holocaust. She worked as an illustrator, illustrated the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, as well as the books such as "Bush and Billabong" and "Australian Tales of Long Ago" by Peter Paxton (1945), etc. She also made further advertising work for theatre and projects of textile.
