About the Artist

Specializing in capturing the precious moments of life...

For decades, Krista has been painting the world around her.  What sets her portrait work apart is her ability to capture the subtle distinctions that animate each being.  Specializing in horses/equestrian subjects, she also paints people (official, individuals, children) and pets.

Krista paints horses the way  she sees them—alive with emotion, character, and quiet strength. Her work captures more than anatomy and color: it holds the spark of a look, the weight of a breath, the confidence of a stance. From the gleam of a well-worn coat to the softness around an eye, she translates the personality of each horse into portraiture that feels personal, timeless, and unmistakably real.

Driven by careful observation and a deep respect for the bond between horse and handler, she builds each piece carefully—layer by layer—so the final work carries both beauty and meaning. Whether commemorating a champion, honoring a beloved companion, or preserving a fleeting moment, her goal is the same: to create a portrait your family will enjoy for years to come.
