Biographyhttp://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2003/09/26/31396.htmlA Berkeley native, Dickinson studied at the Parsons School of Design before taking a job in display at Lord & Taylor. He left New York for San Francisco where he became well-known for his idiosyncratic approach. With clients ranging from the Sonoma Mission Inn to art patrons to department stores, Dickinson’s fantasies and individual character made him one of America’s most astonishing decorators from the 1960s until his death in 1982 at the pinnacle of his career.
