• Welcome to my new booking page!

    I'm still Krista, and I'm still painting Spirit Rocks in Cary, Morrisville, Apex, Raleigh and surrounding areas.

    And I am semi-retiring. But I plan to continue as long as I can.

    I've made some changes

    This past year has been busy with unexpected travel, so instead of fully retiring, I've decided to change my booking system so that I'm not booking so far out, and can be flexible if needed.

    When I'm HERE, I'm very reliable! When distant family suddenly needs me, I'm hopping on a plane, and NOT here.

  • Services, Rates & Availability (new for March 2025)

    My booking calendar is no longer open all year. I will now be booking one month out maximum, or sometimes just a week or two ahead. Feel free to keep checking for openings, however, if you would prefer to secure a painting sooner than later, I'm happy to refer to you other local artists, or even help you paint it yourself!

    Rates

    For new bookings, my rates are fixed depending on distance. I am no longer offering flexible pricing or school-event discounts.

    Availability

    My painting calendar books a month out. I paint in evenings after 6pm, and on Sundays (Saturday is family day). If a date is unavailable, I am either overbooked, or not here.

    Not Available?

    If I'm not available, fill out this form and I'll provide a list of other resources and painters I know of. If I'm simply overbooked but here, I'll see what I can do.

    DIY?

    Your school will likely have tips and tricks, so read through those first. If you are REALLY stuck, request remote help below.

    Please select your rock rental date (this is not actually a meeting)

  • How It Works

    If this is your first time hiring a Spirit Rock artist, or hiring me, please read!

    1

    Rent the Spirit Rock

    Rent the Spirit Rock through your school before hiring a painter. Be familiar with the painting policy and able to provide the artist with proof of rental to avoid heart-breaking mix-ups.

    2

    Request a Painting Date

    My calendar books the painting date (not necessarily the rental date). For example, if your viewing day is Wednesday, you would book me for Tuesday evening. There are few questions to fill out, and a place to upload the proof of rental, so have that ready!

    3

    Confirm Booking

    Once I've reviewed your booking, I'll confirm my availabiltiy via email. If proof of rental was not provided, I will request that before I can commit to painting. Payment is not needed to reserve the date! The slot is yours unless it's cancelled.

    4

    Relax!

    Closer to the scheduled painting date, I'll check in to make sure nothing has changed. I'll request payment at that point. You may contact me anytime about design or changes.

    You do not need to be there!

    Changes?

    If you need to cancel, just let me know as soon as possible so I can make the slot available to another family.

    If it is ME needing to cancel (family emergency), then I will coordinate a replacement painter for you.
