BIOGRAPHY

Treza Karg was born and raised in a small Midwestern countryside town, where
her passion for art and photography blossomed at a young age. Her exceptional
talent in both mediums was evident early on, though art remained her true
calling. In high school, she served as a teacher’s aide in the art department
and earned scholarships to attend prestigious art camp summer programs. Treza
pursued an associate’s degree in art at college, but her studies were cut short
in her second year when her mother fell ill and, following the loss of her
father, she left school to work full-time. Undeterred, she continued to nurture
her creativity, producing art and photography independently.

Initially, Treza gained recognition as a published photographer, but her
focus eventually returned to her first love—art. Her journey took her from the
Midwest to vibrant cities, living twice in Las Vegas, as well as in California
and Texas. While in Las Vegas during the COVID-19 pandemic, she spent extensive
time in the mountains, where she developed a profound connection with the wild
horses roaming there. Photographing these majestic creatures became her passion
and addiction, deeply influencing her artistic direction.

After relocating to Texas post-pandemic, Treza found herself without the
wild horses that had become her muse, leading to feelings of depression. She
turned to art as a therapeutic outlet, channeling her emotions into her work.
The majority of her artwork features subjects she has photographed, with wild
horses as a central theme. Treza describes her work as rooted in “a deep
reverence for wildlife, serving as both subject and inspiration.” Through her
art, she aims to foster an appreciation for the natural world and advocate for
conservation, particularly for wild horses.

Now a full-time artist based in Texas with her husband, four German
Shepherds and cat, Treza maintains a studio with a breathtaking view of
expansive Texas oaks, where deer, squirrels, and birds roam freely. She
frequently returns to the mountains to visit the wild horses that continue to
inspire her. Currently, she is working on a series of paintings titled Chasing
Dreams
, which portrays sleeping wild horses and other wildlife,
capturing their serene beauty. Treza’s art invites viewers to connect with
nature and support efforts to preserve its wonders.
