Before retiring from the corporate world, Astrid worked as a freelance Landscape Architect. Her years of working with Metro Conservation and the Ministry of Natural Resources greatly impacted her artistic style, themes and philosophy in depicting art in the natural landscape.

Residing now in the Kawartha Lakes region, on the shores of Lake Scugog, she’s enjoying lakeside life and her love of the outdoors.

Astrid’s art style is experimental and impressionistic. Her art is often inspired by daily sunset views and continual wildlife activities, particularly waterfowl and birds, to create acrylic-painted landscapes. She doesn’t limit her work to canvas; she also uses various materials, including fabrics, furniture, upholstery, wood, and canoe paddles.

Astrid is an active member of local arts groups such as the Kawartha Art Gallery, Kawartha Arts Network (KAN), Kawartha Arts Council, Eastern Central Ontario Art Association and Scugog Arts Council. She has displayed her artwork in various galleries such as the Kawartha Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Bancroft, and the Mystery of The Park Art Exhibition at Algonquin Park Visitors Centre. You will also see her artwork on public display on Hwy 36 on the way to Bobcaygeon, as a selected piece to beautify outdoor traffic control boxes in the town of Lindsay.

Astrid is a professional Paint Nite Host, known as “Astrid Art,” you will find her sharing her skills at local venues and conducting public painting events.
