[3] Bickerstaff showed an interior of St James' Church on the Antrim Road at the Ulster Academy of Art's Spring Exhibition of 1942,[4] a subject she had previously captured in 1934.
[8] An Óige and the Youth Hostel Association of Northern Ireland hosted a joint exhibition in Mountjoy Square, Dublin in 1945, which included a Bickerstaff landscape called Fading Light.
[9] The Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts hosted a joint exhibition of works by Bickerstaff, and the founder of the Ulster Watercolour Society, Wilfred Haughton, in the spring of 1949.
The exhibition showed more than twenty donated works from Olive Henry, Violet McAdoo, John Luke and William Conor, amongst many others.
In 1955 whilst lamenting the inconsistent quality of the show, one critic writes,"Renee Bickerstaff, who is of course a well-known artist, in her Old Cloisters, Oxford gives a useful object lesson in handling to her less sure fellow club members,"[12]Bickerstaff was appointed honorary treasurer of the Ulster Society Women Artists when they were formed by Gladys Maccabe, Deborah Brown, Alice Berger Hammerschlag and others in late 1957.
[1] Her work is held in many private and public collections including the Armagh County Museum,[22] and the Royal Ulster Academy of Arts.
