"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." — Author unknown

Treka has loved art for as long as she can remember—from drawing and painting to pottery and jewelry making. As an adult, her curiosity has continued to grow, leading her to explore new creative forms. Her first introduction to fiber art came through crochet and knitting, but in 2019 she discovered felting and was immediately drawn to its meditative nature.

Working with natural fibers has become a central focus of her practice—transforming the ordinary, and sometimes unexpected, into something beautiful. Whether needle-felting a three-dimensional sculpture, creating one-of-a-kind wearable pieces, or wet-felting a “wool painting,” Treka finds something quietly magical in turning soft, airy wool into solid form and lasting structure.

A lifelong Oklahoman, Treka lives in rural Logan County with her husband, Tim, their teenaged son, Jonathan, and their spirited cattle dog, Sophie. As a family, they enjoy spending time outdoors — traveling, hiking, camping, and exploring new places.

Treka graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1998 and earned a master’s degree from the University of Oklahoma. She has worked as a full-time Physician Assistant since 2005, specializing in urgent care since 2006.

Her art education began in childhood through both school-based and private art lessons. Today, her study of fiber art continues through in-person and online workshops—as well as countless hours of self-directed experimentation. She currently works from her studio in Guthrie, Oklahoma, where she hosts weekly open studio hours and teaches group classes, private lessons, and creative parties.

 Treka Wenner is a fiber artist specializing in needle and wet felting. Her work explores the meditative process of transforming natural fibers into sculptural forms, wearable art, and felted “wool paintings.” With a background spanning multiple art forms, Wenner focuses on creating one-of-a-kind pieces that elevate the ordinary through texture, process, and material.
