Wickenden's artwork, which includes acrylic paintings and prints, has been exhibited since the early 1950s and has shown in Saskatoon, Regina, and Hamilton, Ontario. Wickenden was a member of the Saskatoon Art Centre in the 1950s and 1960s, and also held membership in the Society of Canadian Painter-Etchers and Engravers.
