During the 1940s to 1950s Rickards was one of the Merioola Group of artists. The review of her works in a 1948 exhibition by Paul Haefliger was the source of the coined phrase "The Charm School" to describe these Sydney artists.[1][2]

In 1966 Rickards won a BAFTA Film Award for the film Mademoiselle.

In 1967 she was nominated at the 39th Academy Awards in the category of Best Costumes-Black and White for her work on the film Morgan – A Suitable Case for Treatment.[3]

Selected filmography
gollark: I consider it annoying political advertising (especially when that bug made it uncloseable) and don't like it.
gollark: > I think, ultimately, you're using their service so they can do what they like<@229987409977278464> They *can*, but I don't *want* them to in all cases.
gollark: It's not the first thing to pop up there, they mostly use it to notify me about updates and such (useful) and bother me about the desktop app (not useful!).
gollark: > Starting next week, we’ll begin to use our in-product screens and our blog to raise awareness of anti-racist causes and encourage you to take concrete action, such as calling on local officials to advocate for police reform.> in-product screens
gollark: You don't know that. And the bit I quoted seems to contradict it.
