Throughout Krista's career, the signature warmth of her realist style has been sought after, leading to most existing work currently held in private collections. To collect Krista's original paintings or drawings, consider commissioning a new piece. High-quality prints of select existing pieces are available for purchase. Current collections may be available for display in fine art galleries and museums that curate contemporary American realist works.

Missouri native and long-time Kansan with a wild side all her own, Krista finds beauty in the world and shares it back through her canvas.

Fascination with the natural and domestic worlds around her is channeled into her contemporary American realist artwork, where she captures the impossible bigness of a prairie sky, the mystique of an owl hunting at night, and the gentle domesticity of the daffodils that herald spring.
