Pickles has had a career as an independent artist, exhibiting widely and securing a number of grants in order to travel, exhibit and publish her work. She won a Boise Travelling Scholarship to Italy in 1980 and Greek Government Scholarships in 1992, 1994 and 1995.[4] As well as numerous group exhibitions Pickles has had several solo shows, including two in 1994, one at St David's Hall in Cardiff and the other at the Smith Jariwala Gallery.[4] In 2017 she was shortlisted for the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize.[5] She mainly paints but also makes images with collage, drawing and camera. Some of her works, such as her self-portrait as Dylan Thomas, are portraits although she has also painted many landscapes.[1]

In 2002 Pickles was the victim of theft, when her car along with 20 of her paintings were stolen in Cardiff. She was taking the paintings to Athens for an exhibition.[7]
In the 2019 UK General Election Pickles hosted the constituency office, in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's London constituency, for the candidacy of William Tobin- aimed at highlighting the several million people excluded from the British electoral franchise.[8] Pickles' paintings were used as campaign backdrops, notably Self-portrait as an Old Etonian for the campaign video.[9]
