COMMISSIONS
A Krista Schumacher commission is a deeply personal collaboration — an opportunity to work one-on-one with Krista to create a singular work of art conceived around your space, your vision, and your life. Each piece is painted in Krista's signature palette knife style and is unique to the collector who commissioned it.
STYLE + SUBJECT
Krista accepts landscape and abstract commissions, drawing inspiration from her existing body of work or the client's own photography. Every commission begins with a consultation — in person or virtual — where Krista assesses the space and makes personalized recommendations for sizing, color, and subject. Virtual staging is used throughout the process to ensure the final work is perfectly suited to its home.
PRICING + SIZING
Commission sizes are customizable to accommodate your space, design, and vision. The table below lists some of our most popular sizes, but commissions can be smaller or larger.
There is a commission price minimum of $6,000 per painting, regardless of desired size. Prices are around $4.20 per square inch and include our exclusive light gold floater frame. A frame will add approximately 2 inches to the total width and height.
Commissions are available for shipping worldwide. Contact info@kristaschumacherart.com for international or custom shipping quotes.
Domestic shipping (continental U.S.):
Medium works (720 – 1,200 sq. in.) — $550

Commission turnaround is typically 4-6 months. A 50% deposit is required to join the waitlist, with the balance due upon completion. Depending on the scope and scale of the project, the deposit is fully refundable at any point, and can either be canceled by Schumacher or the client.
VIRTUAL STAGING
Before committing to a commission or purchase, collectors can see exactly how a painting will look in their space. Simply send us a photo of your room and one reference measurement, and our team will create a realistic, to-scale rendering of the work in your home — completely complimentary.
Virtual staging is an excellent way to visualize how Krista's art will transform your home.
