[1] [4] In 2010, Wheat was awarded a year-long residency with Triangle Arts Association in Brooklyn, NY. [2] In 2016 she created a site-specific, large-scale installation for Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center. [5] [4] In 2017, Wheat was named as one of "10 Artists to Watch at Frieze London". [6] In 2016, she was presented as recipient of the 2016 New York NADA Artadia Award, which is presented every year to one artist that is exhibiting at NADA New York. [7]

Wheat developed a painting technique whereby she pushes acrylic paint through framed pieces of aluminum mesh; this technique was described by The Art in America journal as "completely novel". [7] [8] Her 2018 exhibition at the Andrew Edlin Gallery in NY was chosen by Artforum as a Critics' Pick. [9]
