Though her works entail unusual materials such as plastic gels, sequins, pools of ink and tinted fluids, but not paint itself, Schumacher’s use of form and colour is said to derive from painterly thinking. About her largescale monochromatic painting "Along the Square", the Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection observes that the work "brings key questions about painting together—such as the relationship between surface and depth, the effect of colour, and last but not least the relationship between concrete geometrical form and the representation of visible reality." An essay in the artist's 2012 catalog focusses on Schumacher's use of reflective materials: "Extension of space through mirrored surfaces is patently Schumacherian. The imaginary and real co-mingle in a spatial mirror painting, ensnared by its reflective surfaces and coaxed into dialogue by the entranced viewer."
