Horace Watson “Wick” Wickenden (1901-1995) was an English-born Canadian artist and educator who immigrated to Saskatchewan in 1922. He earned his BA from the University of Saskatchewan in 1929 and studied art with notable instructors including Augustus Kenderdine, Nikola Bjelajac, and Eli Bornstein. Wickenden served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II and furthered his art education in Calgary. A long-time teacher of English and art, he retired in 1964. Wickenden was active in the Saskatoon art community, serving as director and vice-president of the Saskatoon Art Centre. He exhibited widely in Saskatchewan and Ontario, with his work shown at the National Gallery of Canada in 1944. He passed away in 1995, and alongside his wife, artist Margaret Mary Robertson, he is commemorated by Wickenden Crescent in Saskatoon.
