Biography

Wicksteed was born about 1811 as Emma Ancilla Barton.[1][2] She married John Tylston Wicksteed on 17 June 1833 in Hackney, England.[1][3] They had two sons, John Tylston and Arthur Aikin.[2]

Wicksteed arrived in New Zealand in 1841 after her husband was employed as an agent by the New Zealand Company.[4][5][6] She and her family lived at the New Zealand Company Resident Agent's house on Mount Eliot, New Plymouth, now the site of Puke Ariki.[7] In 1853, they moved to Kai Iwi, Whanganui.[8]

Wicksteed sketched and painted landscapes of both New Plymouth and Whanganui.[8] Her sketch New Plymouth in 1843 was reproduced as a coloured lithograph in Jerningham Wakefield's Adventure in New Zealand.[9] It was used by the New Zealand Company to encourage further British settlements in the Taranaki region.[10]

She died in Whanganui on 6 November 1869, age 58, and was buried with her husband in Heads Road Cemetery, Whanganui.[11] Her paintings are now found in the collections of Puke Ariki, the Fletcher Trust, and the National Library of New Zealand.[5][12][13]
