FAQs

Each artwork at Hapi Art is a one-of-a-kind creation by Kristi Kohut. There's only one original of each piece, making it a uniquely special and exclusive addition to your space. The joy lies in owning something truly distinctive, a piece with its own story and authenticity that can't be replicated.

Certainly! Kristi's commissions are in high-demand and often booked out far in advance, but we welcome inquiries about commissions. While not guaranteed, if your project aligns with her creative vision and time permits, she may take on new commissions. To inquire, reach out to us, and if Kristi is unavailable, we'll gladly add you to the waitlist for a chance to bring your vision to life in the world of Hapi Art.

At Hapi Art, we believe in offering everyone the best possible value from the start. While surprises are our specialty, discounts are rare here. We want each collector to feel they are getting the utmost value, and occasionally, we might unveil a special surprise, but those moments are truly exceptional.

At Hapi Art, we prioritize authenticity and quality. Kristi has chosen to sell her artwork almost exclusively through our website and studio to ensure that this standard is met. To guarantee authenticity, we provide a Certificate of Authenticity with each purchase and maintain detailed records for every piece. This commitment ensures that you are receiving an original and genuine creation from Kristi Kohut.Beware of imitations! If a piece claims to be from Hapi Art and is being sold elsewhere, it's likely not the real deal. To secure the authenticity and quality that defines Hapi Art, always purchase directly through our website or studio.

The art world has been an intimidating, inaccessible place for too long. That’s not Kristi’s style, so she set out to do things differently. She cut out the expensive middleman, ditched the stuffy gallery vibe, and made her work easily available online almost exclusively through her studio—so everyone can experience the joy of being a collector and be assured of its quality and authenticity.

The only exception to this is Liz Lidgett Gallery in Des Moines, Iowa. Kristi has a longstanding relationship with Liz, who shares the same mission of making the art-collecting process a joyful and pleasant experience.

When you purchase a piece from Liz Lidgett Gallery, rest assured that each artwork undergoes our rigorous quality control process. Every piece is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, affirming its genuine origin and value.

Consider it your artwork's passport in the art world. The Certificate of Authenticity (COA) ensures you can buy, sell, or insure your piece with confidence. Hapi Art is the sole issuer of COAs for Kristi Kohut's creations. We provide them for paintings, prints, sculptures, and other artistic endeavors. Stickers, posters, defaced currency, or anything not originally intended as a 'work of art' doesn't make the COA cut. And of course, we steer clear of anything created illegally – we have a lawyer for that.

We totally get the jitters – buying art online is a big deal! But guess what? We've got your back. We're more than thrilled to share extra images, videos, and even cool mockups of the art you're eyeing. We want to make the art buying experience super transparent and reassuring for you.

Just to sprinkle some extra joy on it, we've sold over 10,000 pieces to more than 3,000 awesome collectors. Returns? We can count them on one hand, and it's usually because someone found another piece they fancied (we totally get it). Almost all our collectors – a whopping 95% – snag their treasures virtually. And you know what they tell us? The art looks even more incredible in person, and they're downright thrilled with the top-notch quality. But don’t just take our word for it, see what collector’s have to say.
