​KRYSTAL SKINNER
Curious Visionary

"Art is not a luxury for the privileged few but a fundamental human need and right—one that has the power to heal wounds, build communities, and illuminate even the darkest corners of human experience with beauty, wonder, and profound, life-affirming energy." - Krystal Skinner Art

Krystal creates expressively through her work on canvas and with interactive art installations integrating textiles, metalwork, and mixed media. Each piece is designed for touch and exploration, serving as a testament to the interconnectedness of all things.

From healthcare settings to community spaces, her work and hands on workshops invite transformation, experimentation, and the profound joy of discovery.

COMING SOON...
​What if a road could talk back? I've been working on something I can't stop thinking about — a Texoma landscape you can actually touch. Upholstered roads. Fabric wildflowers. A play space where toy cars drive through art. It started as a small piece at the Anna Community Library. It's about to become something much bigger. Launching on Kickstarter very soon.

New Public Artwork - Sherman Bird Festival Sculpture

​Sherman Painted Bunting |2026
Living Rainbow is a dual-sided Painted Bunting sculpture for the Sherman Cultural District's inaugural Bird Festival. This Texas Commission on the Arts-funded project celebrates the native and migratory birds of North Texas through innovative materials and traditional sculptural techniques.
The piece contrasts the brilliant plumage of male Painted Buntings with the subtle beauty of females, using layered pigmented Pal Tiya and impasto techniques to explore how light, texture, and color create visual impact.
Installation scheduled for Summer of 2026 at Sherman Cultural Player's children's theatre Theatricks as part of Sherman's growing public art collection.
Inaugural Festival Date: May 16, 2026
Location: Sherman Cultural District, Sherman, TX

A word from P.R.A.Y.

Purpose, Reconciliation, Abundance, Yielding to Love

Krystal Skinner is a passionate abstract expressionist artist who discovered the transformative power of combining creativity with prayer. Through her own spiritual journey, she developed the P.R.A.Y. (Purpose, Reconciliation, Abundance, Yielding to Love) framework as a way to bring greater intentionality and depth to her relationship with God. In this series she shares visual reminders of this journey with spirituality and prayer and invitations to embrace your own journey.

How do I commission a Piece or schedule a workshop?

If you like what you are seeing and have something unique to in mind I love collaborating with clients on unique artwork  and workshops that speak their story.

Commissions

My specialty is in incorporating sentimental material into artwork to be shared with family members and cherished for years to come.  I'm looking forward to working with you to design something special for your home. 
​
  • We'll need to know your vision, budget and sentimental material. I have worked with all kinds of material and look forward to new challenges.
  • Together, we design a draft that serves as the basis for the project. Once the design and timeframe for the project is approved, a 50% deposit is required to begin. 

workshops

My workshops use mixed media to facilitate conversations about emotional well-being. Explore boundaries, embrace change, and rebuild through creativity by scheduling a workshop today!

  • Safe space to explore without judgment
  • Permission to be imperfect, messy, silly, quiet, or whatever feels true

  • All activities adaptable for different physical abilities
  • Verbal processing always optional
  • Multiple ways to engage with each concept
  • Can observe and absorb without doing
  • Quiet participation is full participation
  • No pressure to share, show, or explain
