Women and Business presents Fleur Wickes

Accomplished Whanganui-based writer & artist, Fleur Wickes, is coming to Palmerston North to speak at our Women & Business event on Tuesday 23 July - and we're excited!!

After a very successful twenty-year career in photographic portraiture, and with published short stories and poetry under her belt, in 2008 Fleur began drawing the words she wrote: the shape of the drawn words acting as an emotional landscape, adding depth and meaning to the poetry. Since then, she’s made a career and a studio as an artist working in word and image, using photography, drawing and painting as her medium.


Fleur weaves together powerful, emotional words with her arresting – almost typographical – art style. For Fleur, art, emotion and balance are all interconnected, acting as both a release for her own feelings and as a way to connect with others around the world.
