Flower Art Prints
Bring out your wild side
The Artist
Kriss MacDonald is an American-British photographer and visual artist based with her family in the Algarve, Portugal.
After covering conflicts and breaking news stories as an international TV news journalist with NBC News and the Associated Press, Kriss MacDonald turned to the soothing beauty and peace of nature and flora.
Kriss began creating her floral art while living in the middle of a thousand-acre nature reserve in southeast England.
In her distinctive botanical art photography, she composes seasonal tales featuring wild and garden flowers. Most of the flowers she grows in her garden while also studying and collecting wildflowers from her field and the surrounding countryside.

Botanical Art Photography
seasonal botanical tales
In my floral art, real flowers and nature finds are photographed in natural light. Most of the flowers are grown in my garden.
Derek Jarman's Garden Dungeness
“Paradise haunts gardens, and some gardens are paradises. Mine is one of them”
Imagine sand like a slow motion tsunami covering whole forests and wetlands…
“My floral art is inspired by the seasons and location. They are visual stories celebrating what is growing or fading, cultivated or wild, and each a celebration of nature. My goal is to share the peace and beauty of nature in products and art prints featuring these seasonal stories – and bring out the wild side in your daily life.”

Photograph in Victoria & Albert Museum
I started writing about connecting children with nature over 10 years ago in Wild About Here.
My photograph of a den building adventure is now in the permanent collection of Young V&A, part of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The Young V&A opened in July 2023 after a major redevelopment to encourage children to imagine, play and design.
