The theologian Cath McKinney first encountered Brother Patrick Henigan at a community congregation in Melbourne’s inner-north decades ago. “He was one of those people that was very little and in that way he was quite big,” she says. “He was just very able to be present and see people.”
She had no idea at the time that she would go on to acquire several of Henigan’s paintings, or that others would be held by major cultural institutions, including the National Gallery of Australia and National Gallery of Victoria.
