About Kristian

Every sale pays Kristian directly.A meaningful share of each purchase goes to the artist.

Kristian Gallagher is a self-taught American illustrator who dedicated herself to a full-time creative practice in 2018. Before establishing her brand, Modern Tropical, she spent twenty-five years as an art director within the Silicon Valley technology sector. This background in design informs her structured yet whimsical approach to botanical art and abstract scenery. Working from a foundation of digital tools, watercolor, and gouache, Gallagher explores the concept of an endless summer. Her work has moved from digital spaces into large-scale hospitality installations across Hawaii and Florida, as well as collaborations with major global retailers. She focuses on the intersection of mid-century modern aesthetics and the organic forms of tropical flora.
